Ebook: Surface Modification Technologies XV - Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Conference Held in Indianapolis, Indiana

This book presents the reviewed and edited proceedings of the SMT conference held in November 2001 in Indianapolis, USA. The proceedings describe state-of-the-art surface engineering work in thermal spray, wear-resistant coatings, surface characterization, scanning probe techniques, surface treatment for corrosion and joining, and cadmium and chromium replacement. Contents include: thermally sprayed materials; wear resistant coatings; characterization of industrial surfaces with scanning probe-based techniques; surface treatments for corrosion and joining; processing of coatings; characterization of coatings; replacement of cadmium/chromium.
