The book "High Performance Coating for Automotive and Aerospace Industries" is both a reference and a tutorial for understanding the most advanced coatings used in transportation industries. It discusses the basics of the materials used in such industries, including the durability to resist corrosion in severe environments. Also, it covers most of the coating processes, testing performance and surface characterization techniques. It addresses important questions frequently posed by end-user design engineers, coaters, and coatings suppliers in their quest for superior coating qualities for such industries. This book focuses on the industrial manufacturing and application aspects of various coating, thin film and surface engineering technologies for automotive and aerospace applications to fulfill the demands in the manufacturing industry. Therefore, contributions in this book emphasize corrosion, tribological and wear aspects of hard, superhard, nanocomposite and lubricious coatings with respect to their mechanical and physical properties.
