Synopsis

This book, the second in the Woodhead Publishing Reviews: Mechanical Engineering Series, is a collection of high quality articles (full research articles, review articles, and cases studies) with a special emphasis on research and development materials and surface engineering and its applications. Surface engineering techniques are being used in the automotive, aircraft, aerospace, missile, electronic, biomedical, textile, petrochemical, chemical, moulds and dies, machine tools, and construction industries. Materials science is an interdisciplinary field involving the micro and nano-structure, processing, properties of materials and its applications to various areas of engineering, technology and industry. All types of materials are addressed including metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics and glasses, composites, nano-materials, biomaterials, etc. The relationship between micro and nano-structure, processing, properties of materials is discussed. Surface engineering is a truly interdisciplinary topic in materials science that deals with the surface of solid matter.

Key Features: written by a highly knowledgeable and well-respected experts in the field; the diversity of the subjects of this book present a range of views based on international expertise.

Contents: Scratch resistance of modified polymethylmethacrylate nanocomposites; Nanomechanical properties and nanoscale deformation of engineering metals and alloys; Analysis of large-strain microindentation of crystalline polymers; Nanocomposite coatings: A review; Thermal sprayed WC-Co coatings for tribological application; Tribological performance of electroless Ni-P coatings; Tribological response of materials during sliding against various surface textures; Laser straight cutting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy: Temperature and stress fields.
