Surface coatings in tribological and wear-resistant applications

摘要

Surface engineering has become a key technology in advanced applications in recent decades, offering materials surfaces with special physical, chemical or mechanical properties. Several new processing techniques have been developed, some of which are successfully applied industrially, for example to allow surface design and manufacture of wear-resistant mechanical parts. To illuminate understanding of surface engineering in tribological applications, a detailed review of surface coating technologies in tribological and wear-resistant applications is presented.
