Download or read book Advanced Techniques for Surface Engineering written by W. Gissler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's shortages of resources make the search for wear and corrosion resistant materials one of the most important tasks of the next century. Since the surface of a material is the location where any interaction occurs, it is that there the hardest requirements on the material are imposed: to be wear resistant for tools and bearings; to be corrosion resistant for turbine blades and tubes in the petrochemical industry; to be antireflecting for solar cells; to be decorative for architectural panels and to combine several of these properties in other applications. Surface engineering is the general term that incorporates all the techniques by which a surface modification can be accomplished. These techniques include both coating and modification of the surface by ion implantation and laser beam melting. In recent years a continuously growing number of these techniques were developed to the extent that it became more and more difficult to maintain an overlook and to understand which of these highly differentiated techniques might be applied to resolve a given surface engineering problem. A similar development is also occuring for surface characterization techniques. This volume contains contributions from renowned scientists and engineers to the Eurocourse the aim of which was to inform about the various techniques and to give a comprehensive survey of the latest development on this subject.

Download or read book Laser Surface Engineering of Aluminum Alloys written by Sandip Harimkar and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser Surface Engineering of Aluminum Alloys presents a comprehensive overview of LSE approaches (laser surface melting, laser alloying, laser cladding, laser composite surfacing, laser shock peening) for all of the Al alloy systems, including the developing 8xxx series alloys. The book discusses in detail the influence of laser processing parameters on the development of microstructure, mechanical/electrochemical properties, residual stresses and defects. Laser surface engineering (LSE) of Al alloys is of considerable scientific and technological interest due to unique processing features such as rapid cooling rate, non-contact heating and superior process control. Aluminum (Al) alloys are the one of the most popular structural materials due to their ductility and high strength-to-weight ratio, and have been extensively used in aircraft, automobile and sports industries. However, these alloys often exhibit insufficient corrosion resistance, stress-corrosion cracking resistance, and wear resistance properties for applications in these industries. Significant efforts are now directed toward modifying the surface characteristics of these alloys for improved surface properties. Provides a comprehensive overview of laser surface processing approaches, including thermal aspects, compositional effects and microstructure development associated with each approach Features separate chapters/sections for all Al alloy systems, including newer emerging systems Provides a valuable reference for further research in the area Covers the techniques used for surface preparation of aluminum alloys for laser processing, including details such as focus parameters, nozzle designs, inert gas and safety relevant to operation of practical laser surface processing set-ups

This book was released on 2011-10-04 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear and understandable text for users and developers of advanced engineered materials, particularly in the area of thin films, and addresses fundamentals of modifying the optical, electrical, photo-electric, triboligical, and corrosion resistance of solid surfaces and adding functionality to solids by engineering their surface, structure, and electronic, magnetic and optical structure. Thin film applications are emphasized. Through the inclusion of multiple clear examples of the technologies, how to use them,and the synthesis processes involved, the reader will gain a deep understanding of the purpose, goals, and methodology of surface engineering and engineered materials. Virtually every advance in thin film, energy, medical, tribological materials technologies has resulted from surface engineering and engineered materials. Surface engineering involves structures and compositions not found naturally in solids and is used to modify the surface properties of solids and involves application of thin film coatings, surface functionalization and activation, and plasma treatment. Engineered materials are the future of thin film technology. Engineered structures such as superlattices, nanolaminates, nanotubes, nanocomposites, smart materials, photonic bandgap materials, metamaterials, molecularly doped polymers and structured materials all have the capacity to expand and increase the functionality of thin films and coatings used in a variety of applications and provide new applications. New advanced deposition processes and hybrid processes are being used and developed to deposit advanced thin film materials and structures not possible with conventional techniques a decade ago. Properties can now be engineered into thin films that achieve performance not possible a decade ago.
