With many materials, desirable qualities can be enhanced by applying wear resistant TiN, TiC, TiCN, Ceramic (aka Boron Carbide), or Armoloy® coatings or dry film lubricant coatings such as Teflon®.

Also of interest in many surgical applications is the use of Parylene coating. Parylene is a conformal coating that provides a strong moisture barrier and is also a good electronic insolator.
