Engineering Coatings guides readers in the choice of coatings and the means of application to fit their specific circumstances. Mechanisms of wear and corrosion are discussed in detail to assist in the analysis of previous component failures and assess how newly designed parts are likely to suffer in service. Coating processes along with the materials available for deposition by the process are covered extensively, including laser surfacing, new thermal spray processes and polymer coatings. Combined with in depth coverage of finishing of surface coatings, quality assurance, health and safety issues and applications, this is a powerful reference for engineers, scientists, materials engineers, welding engineers, metallurgists and technologists who work with surface coating and finishing or need to be acquainted with the subject. It is now 10 years since the 1st edition of Engineering Coatings appeared. The success of that edition and the developments in the area since its publication, make this new edition a valuable addition to the literature on the subject.

It is now 10 years since the first edition of Engineering Coatings by Stan Grainger appeared. The success of that edition, and the developments in the area since its publication make this new edition a valuable addition to the literature on the subject.

This new edition describes the many methods by which surface coatings or surface modification can be carried out to delay surface degradation and prolong the useful life of engineering components. Since surface technology has advanced in many areas, new techniques such as the newer thermal spray processes and laser surfacing are now covered and the book has been expanded to include more coverage on corrosion.

Major changes have also taken place in health and safety legislation, and the sections covering health and safety have been entirely revised as a result. Engineering Coatings with its breadth of coverage and sound basis in industrial practice is an invaluable guide to methods which have the potential to save money in many industries concerned with wear, corrosion, welding and thermal spraying of engineering components.
