The text presents advances in the field of thermal claddings for protection against erosion, corrosion, and wear in hydraulic turbines, automobiles, agricultural equipment, power plant, chemical industries, and jet engines.
The text presents advances in the field of thermal claddings for protection against erosion, corrosion, and wear in hydraulic turbines, automobiles, agricultural equipment, power plant, chemical industries, and jet engines. It further discusses different cladding techniques such as electron beam, oxyfuel, arc welding processes, and microwave hybrid heating. It explains the mechanism for failure of materials and cladding and emphasizes the protection mechanism.This book: Discusses the design and simulation of thermal claddings and the use of algorithms to predict the process parameters and performance of developed clads using artificial intelligence and machine learning Presents the tribological behaviour of novel wear-resistant thermal claddings for the components used in construction, mining, drilling, and hydropower plant Showcases high-temperature oxidation, corrosion, and erosion-resistant thermal claddings for power plants, the automotive sector, and jet engines Highlights the application of the thermal cladding process in remelting the existing surface to enhance the surface properties Examines post-heat treatment procedures on thermal claddings for improving the microstructure and tribological properties The text is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, and production engineering.

For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
