The surface coating field is a rapidly developing area of
science and technology that offers new methods and techniques to
control friction and wear. New coating types are continually being
developed and the potential applications in different industrial
fields are ever growing, ranging from machine components and
consumer products to medical instruments and prostheses. This book
provides an extensive review of the latest technology in the field,
addressing techniques such as physical and chemical vapour
deposition, the tribological properties of coatings, and coating
characterization and performance evaluation techniques. Eleven
different cases are examined in close detail to demonstrate the
improvement of tribological properties and a guide to selecting
coatings is also provided. This second edition is still the only
monograph in the field to give a holistic view of the subject and
presents all aspects, including test and performance data as well
as insights into mechanisms and interactions, thus providing the
level of understanding vital for the practical application of
coatings.
* An extensive review of the latest developments in the field of
