RE: Thermal Spray Related Book
Hi,
ram here.
My book on 'Surface Wear - Analysis, Treatment & Prevention' ,ASM-International,2001(price around$165) is in best seeling reference book ,contains
*a chapter on 'surface modification processes'' and a section fully devoted to Thermal spraying (includes new classification, systems,consumables,and imortant applications)
*chapter on wear resistant materials where there are sections fully devoted to ceramic , polymeric ,composite materials in addition to metallic materials.
Second book,Advanced Thermally Assisted Surface Engineering Processes, published by Kluwer Academic Publishing,MA,(now Springer,NY) in 2004 (price approx $167), contains basically four different thermally assisted surface engineering processes, viz, welding, thermal spraying, vapor phase deposition and diffusion using one or more of 11 heat sources described in 11 chapters on different heat sources, such as,plasma,laser,arc, spark, nduction,ion, electron, microwave,solar beam,combustion, friction and combinations.First chapter is on basic priciple of the processes,chapter on polymertic surfacing, a chapter on ceramic surfacing,chapter on QC & QA of coatings, chapter on performace and life cycle of engineered surface.
You can buy e-book version of second one.See amazon.com for review of this book by Dr. Sam Nistala,owner of thermal spray shop in UK.
