Materials Science & Technology Surface Engineering of Metals: Principles, Equipment, Technologies, (Hardcover)

Surface Engineering of Metals provides basic definitions of classical and modern surface treatments, addressing mechanisms of formation, microstructure, and properties of surface layers. It discusses the range of surface engineering techniques and describes new surface treatments. Part I outlines the fundamentals of surface engineering, presents the history of its development, and proposes a two-category classification of surface layers. Part II provides an original classification of the technologies of surface layers.
