Presents basic principles of image acquisition, enhancement, measurements, and interpretation in a simple form, focused on applications and the properties of available tools. This book lists different tasks and offers solutions to these tasks. It is suitable for specialists using image analysis equipment, including technicians and students.

Surface Engineering of Metals provides basic definitions of classical and modern surface treatments, addressing mechanisms of formation, microstructure, and properties of surface layers. It discusses the range of surface engineering techniques and describes new surface treatments. Part I outlines the fundamentals of surface engineering, presents the history of its development, and proposes a two-category classification of surface layers. Part II provides an original classification of the technologies of surface layers.

Focuses on the thermodynamics, kinetics, and applications involved with individual grain boundary migration in metals. This title offers an overview of knowledge of the grain boundary migration process, and details how migration influences microstructural evolution, including the recrystallization process and the creation of new materials.

Offers a fresh approach to the science and technology of both ferrous and non-ferrous metal production. This work examines the restrictions imposed on the selection of the process routes by thermodynamic and kinetic factors and by economic and environmental constraints.

Presents an overview of developments in welding metallurgy. This book contains topics that include common welding processes, the thermal cycle during welding, defects that may occur during the welding process, the metallurgy of the material, and metallurgical processes in the heat-affected zone and the fused metal.

Presents definitions of classical and modern surface treatments, addressing mechanisms of formation, microstructure, and properties of surface layers. This title discusses the range of surface engineering techniques and describes various surface treatments. It outlines the fundamentals of surface engineering.
