Opis

Surface engineering is an increasingly important field and consequently those involved need to be aware of the vast range of technologies available to modify surfaces. This text provides an up-to-date, authoritative exposition of the major condensed phase methods used for producing metallurgical and ceramic coatings. Each method is discussed thoroughly by an expert in that field. In each chapter the principle of the method, its range of applications and technical aspects involved are described. The book not only informs the reader about established technologies familiar only to specialists, but also details activity on the frontier of coating technology providing an insight into those potential technologies not yet fully developed but which should emerge in the near future.

Recenzje

The presentation of the book is excellent....it can be recommended to research and production engineers alike, materials scientists, solid-state and colloidal chemists, and physicists as well as design engineers and plant managers who want to find the most economical method to protect metal surfaces from environmental impacts. - Euromaterials (Sept 97)
