Surface Engineering for Corrosion and Wear Resistance J.R. Davis (Ed.) ASM International and IOM Communications 2001 279 p. ISBN 0-87170-700-4 US $138, £87.50 (Hardcover)
Keywords Surface engineering, Corrosion, Wear
The book provides a thorough review of the surface treatments used to enhance wear and corrosion resistance of materials (Plate 1). It also provides valuable practical guidelines to the design engineer to select the appropriate surface engineering treatment for a specific corrosion and/or wear resistance-improving application.
The book consists of eight chapters, which cover the fundamental principles, the surface engineering processes, and the selection process. After a brief introductory chapter on the importance of surface engineering for corrosion and wear, the principles of corrosion and the friction and wear are discussed (Chapters 2 and 3). Chapters 4-6 present...
