OverviewThe second edition of this study of materials degradation and control by surface engineering continues the theme of the first edition, where discussions on corrosion, wear, fatigue and thermal damage are balanced by similarly detailed discussions on their control methods, such as painting and metallic coatings. The work is written for the non-specialist, with an emphasis on introducing technical concepts graphically rather than through algebraic equations. In this edition, the graphic content is enhanced by an additional series of colour and monochrome photographs that illustrate key aspects of the controlling physical phenomena. Existing topics such as liquid metal corrosion have been extended and new topics such as corrosion inhibitors added. Full Product DetailsAuthor: A. W.
