Synopses & Reviews
This book is a concise introduction to the major characterization techniques used for Tribological Properties of Materials. 'Characterization of Tribological Materials, 2nd edition features: * Revised chapters on Adhesive Wear, Boundary Lubrication, Atomic Force Microscopy, and Roller Bearing analysis * New sections on Environmental SEM, Focused Ion beam SEM (FIB SEM),STEM (sub nanometer range chemical analysis of surface structure), Electron Backscatter Diffraction analysis ( EBSD), and Defocused Ar ion beam specimen preparation * Revised Introduction and improved illustrations throughout. Understanding the composition and structure of a surface is essential in understanding its frictional (Tribological) properties. This revised volume in the MP Characterization series focuses on surface characterization, including roughness, hardness, coating thickness and bond strength. New advancements in characterization methods are also covered for applications in magnetic recording media, rolling contact bearings and other high-tech systems. Tribology, the study of friction, is vital to a wide variety of engineering areas. The ablility to measure and visualize the surface properties that affect friction is vital. This second edition will bring the reader up to date on the latest characterization methods that are particularly useful for studying surface morphology and molecular structure.
Synopsis
Momentum Press's Computational Materials Science and Engineering Series focuses on both classic and innovative modeling algorithms for computer-aided materials analysis as well as typical applications for each modeling technique. This book in the series focuses on computer modeling techniques for precipitation phenomena in materials undergoing phase transition from one state to another, with a focus on the sharp-interface limit model. Readers will find coverage on: * Statistical Theory of Phase Transformation * Solid-State Nucleation * Multiparticle Precipitation Kinetics -- using both numerical Kampmann-Wagner Model and the SFFK Model * A comparison of growth kinetics using different models
