Metallkunde – Werkstoffe und Beschichtungen

Metals are important to electroplating and surface treatment technicians in many ways, namely as base materials for coating, as coating materials themselves, and as materials for plant engineering, including electronics. The book therefore covers the entire world of metals and is written in an easy-to-understand and readable style. The author summarises his many years of teaching experience, both in terms of content and language, and aims to appeal to those who have not chosen materials engineering and materials science as their main subject and those who want to refresh their knowledge. It is intended for students, content and language, and is aimed at those who have not chosen materials engineering and materials science as their main subject and those who want to refresh their knowledge. It is intended to be read by students, trainees and practitioners, and also to provide inspiration for further study in the specialist literature on materials engineering, physics and chemistry. Starting with the history and significance of metals, the book discusses bonding relationships, the structure of solids, crystallisation, alloy theory, deformation and hardening, ferrous materials and non-ferrous metals, including, of course, coating metals and heat treatment. The content is rounded off with short sections on composite materials, cellular materials and metallic foams, as well as materials testing. The content is rounded off with short sections on composite materials, cellular materials, metallic foams, materials testing and materials selection.
