Wear & Corrosion Of Materials

1. Introduction: practical applications requiring control of wear and corrosion; turbines, pumps, valves, shafts, expanders, bearings, gears, structural components
   
   
2. Mechanisms of Wear and Corrosion: abrasive wear, adhesive wear (galling), cavitation, erosion, fretting, oxidation, sulfidation, aqueous corrosion, galvanic corrosion, crevice corrosion, intergranular corrosion, stress corrosion
   
   
3. Techniques to Reduce Wear and Corrosion: base alloy selection, surface alloying, overlays
   
   
4. Base Alloy Selection: composition, hardness, heat treatment, metallurgical considerations, wear and corrosion-resistant materials
   
   
5. Surface Alloying: diffusion coatings, case hardening techniques and considerations
   
   
6. Spray Coatings: plasma spray, self-fluxing coatings, flame spray, wire spray, high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF), vacuum spray, spray materials
   
   
7. Vapor Coatings: physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), ion vapor deposition (IVD), sputtering, vapor coating materials
   
   
8. Weld Overlays: types of welding, composition selection, and applications
   
   
9. Repair of Wear and Corrosion Damage: techniques for restoration of lost metal, removal of corrosion damage, metallurgical considerations, specific techniques for repair of components
   
   
10. Selection of Materials for Improved Wear and Corrosion Resistance: "signature" of different types of wear and corrosion, and how it could have been prevented, selection of improved materials
    
    
11. Miscellaneous Coatings and a Look at Future Developments: plating, electroless plating, ceramics, ion implantation, laser coatings, diamond coatings, ultrahard materials
