Tribocorrosion for Materials Engineers baixar o livro de graça

Tribocorrosion occurs in all walks of life from energy conversion to hip joints and dental implants. However, the materials required, and control of processes to limit the tribo-corrosion degradation are often not well understood. Tribocorrosion for Materials Engineers describes the various tribocorrosion processes, including wear phenomena, the Pourbaix diagram for aqueous corrosion, and the thermodynamic stability diagram for high temperature oxidation. It highlights the work done during in the past 20 years on tribocorrosion maps where both tribology and corrosion mapping approaches are combined. The author addresses erosion, abrasion (and microscale-abrasion), fretting and sliding wear interactions with corrosion. He also traces theoretical development and validation from practical experimental data with respect to the literature. The then discusses recent mapping approaches using CFD techniques. An examination of the latest thinking on the subject, the book details tribocorrosion issues in dentistry, bio-implants such as hip joint replacements and renewable energies such as tidal and offshore wind as well as space will be addressed in addition to more conventional oil/gas environments. It also discusses best practice in testing tribocorrosion over a multi-parameter space, enabling the production of such maps, with respect to current international standards in the subject.
