Sustainable Surface Engineering Approaches for Industrial Applications: Sustainable Coating Solutions

by Shubrajit Bhaumik (Editor), Viorel Paleu (Editor), V. Jayakumar (Editor), Emrullah Hakan Kaleli (Editor)

Overview

The text describes the analysis of coating methods and the influence of the coating parameters. It further explains key concepts such as the thermal properties of coatings, high-temperature performance, and the wear properties of coatings. The text presents the prospects and challenges of nano-coated medical devices and the high-temperature tribology of thermal sprayed coatings.

This book:

• Presents a comprehensive analysis of coating methods and their influence on nano surface coating.
• Highlights the tribological comparison of nano-coatings on diesel engine cylinder liner.
• Showcases the experimental investigation of the thermal conductivity of various insulating powders.
• Discusses the influence of interlayer on morphological, structural, mechanical, and adhesion properties of TiN coating.
• Explains the microstructure of diamond coatings for tribological applications.

It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering, manufacturing engineering, and aerospace engineering.
