Standard Handbook of Chains
CRC Press 2005; US$ 173.95Updated to account for developments since the 1982 edition and rewritten to be easier read, this reference provides guidance on the selection, design, utilization, and maintenance of chains in a wide range of industrial and other settings. The text opens with a historical overview of the change, followed by chapters on chain design and construction more...
Synthetics, Mineral Oils, and Bio-Based Lubricants
CRC Press 2005; US$ 249.95Rudnick (senior scientist, The Energy Institute, Pennsylvania State U.) presents an expanded version of his earlier Synthetic Lubricants and High-Performance Functional Fluids. The format has been retained, but the coverage now includes new chapters on cyclohydrocarbons, gas-to-liquids, natural oils as lubricants, chemically modified vegetable oils more...
Tribology In Chemical-Mechanical Planarization
CRC Press 2005; US$ 189.95Rates of chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) are dependent largely on tribology in the process of wear on nanosurfaces. To address the needs of researchers needing more information in either or both CMP and tribology, the authors first present the basic processes associated, then show through text and illustrations information about surface pro more...
