Mechanical Tribology:
Materials, Characterization and Applications

edited by George E. Totten
and Hong Liang

Studying the morphology, defects, and wear behavior of a variety of material surfaces, this reference examines popular and emerging surface characterization techniques for assessment of the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of various modified surfaces, thin films, and coatings.

Mechanical Tribology: Materials, Characterization and Applications explores a wide range of tribological applications while promoting reduced component deterioration and improved efficiency and reliability of mechanical systems.
