Fabrication of Wear and Corrosion Resistant Materials

Fabrication of Wear and Corrosion Resistant Materials presents cutting-edge surface processing methods, incorporating concepts from the fields of metallurgy, chemistry, physics, and nanotechnology. It covers developments in manufacturing processes that aim to improve materials' and components' resistance to wear and corrosion.

Investigating techniques such as plasma treatment, laser cladding, chemical vapor deposition, and nanostructuring, the book evaluates each technique by its capability of ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion to prolong the life of materials. In addition, the book explores smart surfaces, digital surface design, machine learning tools, and biomedical applications. It discusses new materials, coatings, surface treatments, and additive manufacturing techniques using an interdisciplinary approach.

This book is intended for researchers and graduate students studying surface engineering, coatings and claddings, and corrosion and wear resistance of materials.
