Surface Engineering: Methods and Applications

Surface engineering is considered an important aspect in the reduction of
friction and wear. This reference text discusses a wide range of surface engineering
technologies along with applications in a comprehensive manner.
The book describes various methods in surface engineering technology
with a thorough explanation of various aspects of each process that comes
under this domain. Apart from an enhanced explanation of the process and
its attributes, this book also gives insight into the types of materials, applications,
and optimization of surface engineering techniques. It discusses
important topics including surface engineering of the functionality of graded
materials, materials characterization, processing of biomaterials, design,
surface modification technologies and process control, smart manufacturing,
artificial intelligence, and machine learning applications.
The book
• discusses computational and simulation analyses for better selection
of process parameters.
• covers optimizations of processes with state-of-the-art technologies.
• discusses applications of surface engineering in medical, agricultural,
architecture engineering, and allied sectors.
• covers processing techniques of biomaterials in surface engineering.
The text is useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic
researchers working in diverse areas such as industrial and production
engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, and manufacturing
science. It covers a hybrid process for surface modification, modeling techniques,
and issues in surface engineering.
