Description
This illustrated reference work provides a comprehensive overview of the surface engineering discipline, focusing on automotive, machining, and biomedical fields.
About the Author
P. A. Dearnley C.Eng., FIMMM, is Director of Boride Services Ltd. He commenced his materials engineering experience in the UK steel industry, latterly completing a B.Sc. (1977) and Ph.D. (1980) at the University of Birmingham. Following several post-doctoral positions with Industry (Sandvik Ltd) and University (Birmingham and Cambridge) he became an active faculty member (Lecturer and Senior Lecturer) at the University of Auckland and the University of Leeds, where he led many research and teaching initiatives in surface engineering. Presently he is Director of Boride Services Ltd, UK where he continues his specialist research interests in developing plasma based surface engineering solutions for improving the durability of cutting tool and biomedical materials.
Reviews
'I enjoyed reading this very straightforward book. Its great strength is as a complete resource that will be invaluable for those studying and teaching courses on surface engineering at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level in universities, as well as materials scientists and mechanical engineers in government research establishments and industrial research environments.' Kevin M. Knowles, University of Cambridge
'Within the vast diverse literature of surface engineering this single authored work brings together all the many facets of the subject to provide a deep understanding of how the discipline can be implemented to enhance the performance of materials subjected to the most demanding conditions of stress, fatigue, wear, friction and corrosion.' George Krauss, University Emeritus Professor, Colorado School of Mines
