Synopsis

Volume III has two thrusts as indicated by its title: process technology and surface analysis. Both areas are central to surface engineering and each holds particular promise, not only for improvement in existing types of coatings performance, but also in the design, development, and evaluation of totally new coating/substrate systems.

Synopsis

Surface engineering is a technology widely applicable to a range of industrial sector activities. It encompasses techniques and processes capable of creating and/or modifying surfaces to provide enhanced performance such as wear, corrosion and fatigue resistance. Surface engineering processes can be used to produce multilayer and multicomponent surfaces, graded surfaces with novel properties and surfaces with high non-equilibrium structures. Part of a three-volume set that explores all aspects of surface engineering technology, this text defines the areas of process technology and surface analysis. It describes improvements in existing coatings and the design, development and evaluation of new coating/substrate systems.
