Thermochemical Surface Engineering of Steels

Thermochemical surface engineering significantly improves the properties of steels.

Edited by two of the world’s leading authorities, this important book summarises the range of techniques and their applications. It covers nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing. There are also chapters on low temperature techniques as well as boriding, sheradizing, aluminizing, chromizing, thermo-reactive deposition and diffusion.

Key Features

• Reviews the fundamentals of surface treatments and current performance of improved materials
• Covers nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing of iron and iron carbon alloys
• Examines how different thermochemical surface engineering methods can help against corrosion
