Engineering Coatings Design and Applications

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 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.
