This book deals with the surface finishing for corrosion prevention from
the viewpoint of environmental friendliness. Surface finishing for metallic materials
or by metallic materials has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and
good color tones, which have been useful for practical applications so far. However,
environmental friendliness and user friendliness have become important factors for
practical use since the turn of the century. Surface Finishing Industries are now
facing a serious crossroad to continue sustainable developments in the future. Sadly,
the concept of environmental friendliness is very new, because from the beginning
of this discipline (surface finishing), not many people considered the environmental
effects so seriously, but sought mainly for the functions, performance, characteristics,
and economic profits. Since the biological evaluation processes are very advanced
and still debated, this book is very unique and advanced. This book aims to let
university students know and learn the concept of environmental friendliness and
its relation to surface treatment products based on the fundamental knowledge about
conventional corrosion control and surface finishing. The textbook will be used
most effectively with subjects such as surface science, surface engineering, mechanical
materials, etc. for those studying mechanical engineering, materials engineering
and chemical engineering. It is also applicable to practical engineers and researchers
in the industrial world as well as the academic one. Throughout this book, readers
learn and appreciate the environmentally friendly approaches that are presented
for corrosion control and surface finishing.
