About this title

Synopsis

Electrodeposition allows the "tailoring" of surface properties of a bulk material or, in the case of electroforming, the entire part. Deposits can be produced to meet a variety of designer demands. For this reason and for the possibilities that exist in terms of "new materials" for a variety of applications, a thorough understanding of the materials science of electrodeposition is of utmost importance. This book provides that understanding.

From the Back Cover

This is the first comprehensive book covering the topic of materials science and its relationship to electrodeposition. It demonstrates how the principles of materials science can be used to explain various structures of electrodeposits and how these structures influence properties. Although the title sounds specific to electrodeposition, other coating technologies such as physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, plasma spraying and ion implantation are also covered. The reason for this is that growth of coatings and their performance from a materials science viewpoint have a great deal of commonality regardless of the technique used to deposit the film. The fascinating field of electrodeposition allows one to "tailor" the surface properties of a bulk material or, in the case of electroforming, the entire part. Deposits can be produced to meet a variety of demands of the designer. For this reason and for the possibilities that exist in terms of "new materials" for a variety of applications, a thorough understanding of materials science and principles is of the utmost importance. This book is intended to provide some of that understanding. The sequence of chapters in the book takes the reader from the substrate to the outer surface of the coating. It starts with the substrate (Hydrogen Embrittlement), then proceeds to the substrate/coating interface (Adhesion, Diffusion), then the bulk of the coating (Structure, Properties, Additives, Stress, Porosity) and finally to the environmental interface of the coating (Corrosion, Wear).
