Dapkunas, Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory U S Dept of Commerce, Technology Admin * Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary, Technology Administration Phillip J. Bond, Under Secretary for Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology Hratch G. Semerjian, Acting Director Special Publication 960-9 NIST Recommended Practice Guide * Number Of Pages: 264 * Publication Date: April 2005 * Binding: pdf The intent of this Guide is to give the materials community a resource for identifying standard methods which are used to measure surface properties and to characterize surface engineered materials. Preface Surface engineering of materials is important in applications as diverse as medical implants and gas turbines. Historically, a coating or cladding was added to a surface, or a surface was treated, to enhance properties or performance. However, increasingly, heat treated, implanted, coated and clad surfaces are viewed as part of a materials system where the substrate and surface complement each other in achieving a performance goal for a component. The integration of the surface and substrate as an engineered system creates a situation where failure of the surface may, in effect, be failure of the system and thus characterization of surfaces and measurement of surface properties are important to the design, maintenance, and analysis of the whole system. The advantages of engineered surfaces have stimulated development of surface treatment and coating processes as well as materials and, consequently, commerce. Commerce in engineered materials depends upon the ability to specify and measure composition, microstructure, dimensions and properties as well as performance in applications of interest. The intent of this Guide is to give the materials community a resource for identifying standard methods which are used to measure surface properties and to characterize surface engineered materials.

King * Publisher: Noyes Publications * Number Of Pages: 450 * Publication Date: 2002-01-15 * ISBN / ASIN: 0815514433 Book Description: Perfect for the new technician or engineer entering the ceramics industry as well as for the "old hand" who needs an update on some aspect of ceramics processing, this resource provides practical laboratory-oriented answers to such typical processing problems as particle segregation, agglomeration, contamination, pressure gradients, adherence to tooling, and temperature gradients during drying and firing. The author examines the difficulties of practical testing and processing in the ceramic laboratory, such as vast differences in scale and equipment, and shows how to evaluate results taking such variables into account. Once the laboratory work is satisfactorily completed, the rest of the book explores serious issues involved in transferring technology from the lab bench to the plant floor and then to the customer. The author gives advice on dealing with real-life problems such as allocating human and capital resources and overcoming customer wariness of being first to try new procedures and processes. Each section contains practical, hands-on suggestions on performing and sometimes avoiding certain tasks, bringing to the reader key information that is at best sparsely available in the industry. As the author states, "Laboratory skills are gained by hands-on experience. The intent of this book is to accelerate the process." Key Features: - Packed with drawings and photographs that illustrate the equipment and the accompanying procedures. - The author has actual experience with the equipment used in the procedures - Highly practical book, based on the author's substantial experience, showing specifically how the ceramic processes work - especially use-ful for those just entering the field or for someone encountering a new ceramic processing issue for the first time - Contains detailed laboratory procedures in each chapter, something rarely included in most technical literature ~~~ |
