Manufacturing Surface Technology

The first title in the "e;Manufacturing Engineering Modular"e; series, the publication of this book marks recognition of the effect of surface finish obtained in manufacture ("e;surface integrity"e;) on the functional performance of product, in terms of such factors as fatigue, corrosion and strength. It is a concise work, intended chiefly for undergraduate and postgraduate students, which should also provide useful material for the professional manufacturing engineer.
