An important aspect of engineering surfaces is that they need to be
multifunctional as designs of machine components require cheaper,
lighter, smarter, longer-wearing, and more environmentally friendly
surfaces that see applications that are hotter, faster, highly
pressurized, and exposed to other increasingly hostile
environments. This can be achieved by use of modern advanced
materials and coatings, which now usually are coated systems. This
is a challenging area as usually there is antagonism between
obtaining low friction and low wear as well as between high
corrosion resistance and low wear. This book covers the
increasingly important aspect for engineering surfaces to be
multifunctional with a focus on tribological applications. It
captures the state of the art regarding the emerging needs for
multifunctional surface design for controlling wear, friction, and
corrosion, as well as having decorative, self-healing, and/or
self-sensing capabilities. It focuses on coatings and materials
that include CVD diamond, diamond-like carbon, and multilayered and
functionally graded systems for a range of engineering applications
including machine tools, orthopedic joints, aero-engines/gas
turbines, automotive engines, glass windows and walls, and offshore
and marine sectors. It is a unique book as it discusses a range of
wet- and dry-deposited coatings and multifunctional materials not
often seen in one publication. It allows the reader to understand a
wide range of design concepts and what is possible to achieve by
current surface engineering techniques.
