Thermochemical surface engineering significantly improves the properties of steels. Edited by two of the world’s leading authorities, this important book summarises the range of techniques and their applications. It covers nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing. There are also chapters on low temperature techniques as well as boriding, sheradizing, aluminizing, chromizing, thermo-reactive deposition and diffusion.
Reviews the fundamentals of surface treatments and current performance of improved materials
Covers nitriding, nitrocarburizing and carburizing of iron and iron carbon alloys
Examines how different thermochemical surface engineering methods can help against corrosion
Materials engineers and metallurgists, particularly those working in the automotive, biomedical, chemical, aerospace, offshore, sports equipment, architectural and industrial components sectors, as well as academics and researchers involved in surface engineering and metallurgy.
