Über dieses Buch
This handbook provides an insight into the advancements in surface engineering methods, addressing the microstructural features, properties, mechanisms of surface degradation failures, and tribological performance of the components. Emphasis is placed on the use of laser cladding methods because they make it simple to deposit new classes of materials such nano-composites, nanotubes, and smart materials.
Handbook of Laser-Based Sustainable Surface Modification and Manufacturing Techniques discusses the main mechanism behind the surface degradation of structural components in strenuous environments. It highlights the capacity of laser cladding to operate on a wide range of substrate materials and shapes as well as presents how laser cladding can offer new possibilities in the reconditioning of components and how, in many cases, these approaches are the only solution for economic efficiency. The handbook illustrates how the type of laser, laser optics, and the parameters of the process can be efficiently selected, and thus the number of applications of laser cladding and its applications can be increased. The standard methods of testing used for various types of biomedical devices and tools, as well as the advantages of combining laser cladding with simultaneous induction heating, are described as well within this handbook.
