Engineering Coatings guides readers in the choice of coatings and the means of
application to fit their specific circumstances. Mechanisms of wear and
corrosion are discussed in detail to assist in the analysis of previous
component failures and assess how newly designed parts are likely to suffer in
service. Coating processes along with the materials available for deposition by
the process are covered extensively, including laser surfacing, new thermal
spray processes and polymer coatings. Combined with in depth coverage of
finishing of surface coatings, quality assurance, health and safety issues and
applications, this a powerful reference for engineers, scientists, materials
engineers, welding engineers, metallurgists and technologists who work
