Totten G.E., Liang H. (Eds.) Surface Modification and Mechanisms: Friction, Stress, and Reaction Engineering

Marcel Dekker, New York, 2004, 747 p., ISBN: 0824748727Leading readers through an extensive compilation of surface modification reactions and processes for specific tribological results, this reference compiles detailed studies on various residual stresses, reaction processes and mechanisms, heat treatment methods, plasma-based techniques, and more, for a solid understanding of surface structural changes that occur during various engineering procedures. This unique book explores topics previously ignored in other texts on surface engineering and tribology, offers guidelines for the consideration and design of wear life and frictional performance, and sections on laser impingement and nanometer scale surface modification.Residual Stresses
