Metal Surface Engineering : Developed Tribology

Metal Surface Engineering: Developed Tribology offers updated and advanced information on tribology for ferrous and non-ferrous materials, and discusses the practical application and performance of surface engineering. It also covers wear prevention and low-friction techniques in mechanical, electrical, and electronic devices and components of equipment used in the automotive and aerospace industry to improve efficiency and extend equipment life. Furthermore, this book offers analytical approaches and symbolic models that demonstrate the control of materials under different conditions, helping to develop new industrial products and applications. In addition, this book also covers such advanced technologies as advanced coatings, thermal techniques, and diversification.

This is a comprehensive reference guide for students studying ferrous and non-ferrous materials, helping them to better understand the methods and techniques used in processing and reducing wear and friction. This book serves as a helpful reference for academics, scientists, and researchers by providing theoretical and experimental foundations for the study of networks and wear, and by supporting the development of new solutions in surface engineering.
