The selection methods are based on in-service properties and functions required. In this way, a wealth of knowledge and expertise is made easily accessible to a wide audience, including non-specialists.  \u003cp\u003eThis is an extremely important title in the “Tribology in Practice Series” (TIPS). In order to design and manufacture improved products which have a competitive edge in the global market, it is important to be able to produce surfaces that do not wear; are more resistant to tarnishing and corrosion; and retain their electrical, optical, or thermal properties over a long period of time. It is also of great benefit to be able to simplify product ranges or maintenance requirements, make mechanisms lighter, reduce noise, and enhance the value of strategically or economically advantageous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is now universally acknowledged that surface treatments and coatings have a prominent role to play in this respect.  A number of processes of a mechanical, physical, chemical, or electrochemical nature are used to modify the surface properties of materials, in particular their hardness, distribution of residual stresses, composition and structure, topography, and surface energy.  Much information on the subject is difficult to access, being very varied in form and content. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCONTENTS INCLUDE:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Elements of surface mechanics – parameters of frictional contact.    \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Further parameters and definitions.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Principal phenomena or surface transformation and wear.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The role of surface treatments.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Properties, applications, and implementation of surface treatments and coatings.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Importance of surface treatments and coatings in tribology.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Classification of surface treatments and coatings.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Properties and applications of surface treatments and coatings.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Materials for tribological use.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Principles of surface treatments and coatings processes.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guidelines for selecting and using surface treatments and coatings. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217898131800,"sku":"9781860583759","price":235.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/handbook-of-surface-treatment-and-coatings","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
