Surface Engineering for Enhanced Performance against Wear [Paperback]

Surface Engineering constitutes a variety of processes and sub processes. Each chapter of this work covers specific processes by experts working in the area. Included for each topic are tribological performances for each process as well as results of recent research. The reader also will benefit from ?in-depth studies of diffusion coatings, nanocomposite films for wear resistance, surfaces for biotribological applications, thin-film wear, tribology of thermal sprayed coatings, hardfacing, plating for tribology and high energy beam surface modifications. Material scientists as well as engineers working with surface engineering for tribology will be particularly interested in this work.

Surface Engineering for Tribological Applications covers processes by experts in the field. The text presents tribological performances for each process, as well as in-depth studies of diffusion coatings, nanocomposite films for wear resistance, and more.

After a short stay with an integrated steel plant as Junior Manager he proceeded for his post graduation study. Following post graduation he joined Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory in 1989 as scientist. Since then he is with the same laboratory. His areas of research interest are materials and surface engineering for tribological application and nanotribology of self lubricating films. He is particularly interested in various interactions between oxidation and tribology and also between corrosion and tribology. Meanwhile, he has visited UniversilÓï
