Deposition processes and coating structures -- Tribology of coatings -- Tribological properties of coatings -- Coating characterization and evaluation -- Coating selection -- Applications. "The surface coating field is a rapidly developing area of science and technology that offers new methods and techniques to control friction and wear. New coating types are continually being developed and the potential applications in different industrial fields are ever growing, ranging from machine components and consumer products to medical instruments and prostheses. This book provides an extensive review of the latest technology in the field, addressing techniques such as physical and chemical vapour deposition, the tribological properties of coatings, and coating characterization and performance evaluation techniques."--Source other than Library of Congress.
