Synopsis

The first title in the "Manufacturing Engineering Modular" series, the publication of this book marks recognition of the effect of surface finish obtained in manufacture (surface integrity) on the functional performance of product, in terms of such factors as fatigue, corrosion and strength. It is a concise work, intended chiefly for undergraduate and postgraduate students, which should also provide useful material for the professional manufacturing engineer.

About this title

Review

'...approach to consider surface finish characterisation and measuring methods. This it does well and can be recommended as a text for this alone.' -- Transactions: Institute of Metal Finishing, March 2002

'...has all the characteristics of a focused textbook, but it has a wider constituency than the learning world' -- Transactions: Institute of Metal Finishing, March 2002
