This new book, Surface Engineering by Friction-Assisted Processes: Methods, Materials, and Applications, discusses in detail three friction-assisted processes that have been rapidly gaining momentum in materials and surface engineering. Friction-assisted processes are methods of processing solids that can alter the properties of a surface. This book functions as a comprehensive resource, compiling extensive descriptions of friction stir processing, fabrication of surface metal matrix composites, and friction surfacing into one volume.

The book is separated into four sections, beginning with a discussion of surface tailoring of metals by friction stir processing. This first section delves into the basics of friction stir processing (FSP), incorporating illustrations to explain the supporting mechanisms of this process. This section culminates with the introduction of potential applications of FSP in the manufacturing industry and obstacles that may arise when implemented.

The following two sections of the book share a similar structure; however, they explore and discuss surface metal matrix composites by friction stir processing and surface engineering by friction surfacing. Each of these sections provides a thorough explanation of the material systems involved in the respective processes and discusses in detail the mechanisms behind each. These sections also conclude with a summary of the prospective functions of each friction-assisted process.

The book, which closes with a comprehensive discussion of recent developments in friction-assisted processes and their functionality, offers a unique compilation of information on these increasingly prominent developments in the field of surface engineering. This volume organizes the information in a manner that is both easily accessible and comprehensible, utilizing visuals such as figures, tables, and photographs to enhance the readers’ understanding.

Surface Engineering by Friction-Assisted Processes: Methods, Materials, and Applications will be useful to both faculty and students within the fields of engineering and materials science, as well as to research scholars and other individuals interested in learning more about surface composites, coatings, and treatments areas.
