Surface Modification and Mechanisms

Surface Modification and Mechanisms

Navigating through an extensive compilation of surface modification reactions and processes for specific tribological results, this reference compiles detailed studies, many not found in other texts, on various residual stresses, reaction processes and mechanisms, heat treatment methods, plasma-based techniques, laser impingement, nanometer scale surface modification, and more.

Surface Modification and Mechanisms: Friction, Stress, and Reaction Engineering offers guidelines for the consideration and design of wear and frictional performance and provides a unique understanding of surface structural changes that occur during various engineering procedures.
