Download or read book Surface Engineering for Enhanced Performance against Wear written by Manish Roy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface Engineering constitutes a variety of processes and sub processes. Each chapter of this work covers specific processes by experts working in the area. Included for each topic are tribological performances for each process as well as results of recent research. The reader also will benefit from in-depth studies of diffusion coatings, nanocomposite films for wear resistance, surfaces for biotribological applications, thin-film wear, tribology of thermal sprayed coatings, hardfacing, plating for tribology and high energy beam surface modifications. Material scientists as well as engineers working with surface engineering for tribology will be particularly interested in this work.
