About this title

Synopsis

Thermal spraying is a dynamic process and a rapidly changing field which is used in a variety of industries to solve a number of challenging problems including performance enhancement and extending the life of industrial components which are subjected to wear corrosion. Thermal Sprayed Coatings and their Tribological Performances showcases the latest research surrounding the development and use of thermal spraying techniques as well as the benefits of using thermal sprayed coatings in the industrial sector. Focusing on practical solutions that can be applied to real-world settings, this publication is ideally designed for academicians, upper-level students, as well as engineers and operations managers across industries.

About the Author

Manish Roy graduated from IIT, Kharagpur. After a short stay with an integrated steel plant as Junior Manager and his post graduation, he joined Defence Metallurgical Research Laboratory as a scientist. His areas of research interest are materials and surface engineering for tribological application and nanotribology of self-lubricating films. He is particularly interested in various interactions between oxidation/corrosion and tribology. Meanwhile, he has visited various European universities and research laboratories under prestigious programmes of Royal Society (London), Austrian Science Fund (FWF), and European Commission. Dr. Roy has around 100 papers in various reviewed national and international journals. He edited a book titled, Surface Engineering for Enhanced Performance against Wear. He has been guest editor of several special issues of several international journals. He is also on the editorial board of several international journals. Dr. Roy has organised several international symposiums in India and abroad. He is also a distinguished visiting professor at Indian National Academy of Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay.

J. Paulo Davim received his PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Porto in 1997 and the Aggregation from the University of Coimbra in 2005. Currently, he is an Aggregate Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Aveiro.
