Surface Coatings for Protection Against Wear
B. G. Mellor
Woodhead Publishing Ltd
Edited by a pioneer in the field, this book covers coating characterisation and property evaluation relevant to wear resistance with an emphasis on mechanical testing of coatings and discusses the various methods used to deposit wear resistance coatings. The book then describes wear resistant coatings produced by various deposition routes, highlighting the microstructure property relationship in these coatings. The coverage includes coatings and hardfacings produced from welding processes and modern developments such as friction surfacing and pulsed electrode surfacing techniques. The book concludes with coverage of future trends in both coating materials and coating processes.
