Sustainable Surface Engineering Approaches for Industrial Applications

The text describes the fundamental concepts of usability and user experience, and how they are defined, designed for, and eventually measured and evaluated. It covers the surface treatment of bioimplant materials by the electrical discharge machining process and the influence of surface texture on the tribological behaviour of artificial joints. It showcases the experimental investigation of the surface hardness of two dissimilar metal welded joints.This book: Discusses advanced surface treatment methods such as diamond-like carbon coating, and nanocoatings Explains important topics in the areas of laser surface engineering, surface parameters of wire arc welding, and bio-implant surface treatments Presents industrial applications in the areas of automobiles such as cylinders, bio-medical devices, and steel surfaces Explores surface modification of engineering materials using heat treatment and coating Highlights the effect of heat treatment on the tribological and mechanical properties of polymeric materials It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including mechanical engineering, industrial and production engineering, manufacturing engineering, and aerospace engineering.
