Materials to Resist Wear

Provides practical advice on the selection of materials for use in applications in which wear-resistance is an important criterion. Each wear situation is clearly defined and detailed guidance is then given on the selection of the most appropriate materials for that situation. This approach ensures that the volume will be of value to the materials technologist, design engineer as well as the non-specialist user seeking a sound working knowledge and understanding of the subject. The work is supplemented by an appendix giving the names and addresses of important companies and institutions operating in the field.
