This sourcebook will provide data, mostly in tabular form, on friction and wear characteristics of bulk materials, allowing the user to decide the appropriate course of action for selecting the proper coating material, as well as surface treatment techniques
for maximum friction and wear reduction. An in-depth review of various coating deposition processes allows an intelligent selection for the most suitable deposition techniques. Here's a major handbook with detailed, authoritative coverage of this important topic, including (1) physics of materials, (2) an overview of soft, solid-lubricants and hard, wear-resistant coatings and their deposition techniques, and (3) surface treatment techniques and the latest engineering specifications. |
