Surface Engineering of Metals Principles, Equipments, Technologies

Surface Engineering of Metals provides basic definitions of classical and modern surface treatments, addressing mechanisms of formation, microstructure, and properties of surface layers. 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. Applications discussed include wear resistance, anticorrosion, and decorative coatings.
