This new significant book on advanced modern surface technology in all its variations, is aimed at both teaching at engineering schools and practical application in industry. The work covers all the significant aspects of modern surface technology and also describes how new advanced techniques make it possible to examine surfaces all the way down to their atomic layers and also to perform realistic durability tests. The many surface techniques are described in clear and simple language, and the book is richly illustrated with detailed drawings and photos.

It also deals with replacing environmentally harmful processes and surfaces that contain chromates and nickel among others. One chapter is dedicated to hardening of materials based on a wide variety of diffusion based industrial methods by inddiffusion of for example nitrogen, carbon, boron, chromium, etc. Examples are given of carburizing, nitriding, carbonitriding, and many other lesser-known thermochemical processes used for solving technological problems.

The book is richly illustrated with pictures and figures showing how the technology creates new innovative solutions for industry and how surfaces are becoming integral to the function of the components. It covers everything from biocompatible surfaces of IR absorbent or reflective surfaces to surfaces with specific properties within low friction, hardness, corrosion, colors, etc. The book includes more than 400 pages detailing virtually all analysis methods for examining at surfaces.

The Authors
Professor Per Møller has a Ph.D. in surface technology from DTU and has during the past 30 years been engaged in contract research with industry. He is the author or co-author or more than 120 scientific papers and has taken more than 20 patents in the field of surface technology. Currently he is professor in corrosion and surface technology at the MEK-DTU Section for Materials and Surface Engineering.

Dr. Lars Pleht Nielsen has a Ph.D. in surface science from Aarhus University and a managerial degree in Organization Management and Innovation from Copenhagen Business School. He has been employed as a research scientist at Haldor Topsøe and in the photonic group at NKT Research and Innovation A/S. Currently, he is leading the Tribology Center at Danish Technological Institute.

The American organization NASF, National Assosiation for Surface Finishing, recommend the book with its logo and writes in the book's preface: "Advanced Surface Technology is probably the most comprehensive book ever published on the surface. NASF is pleased to be associated with this great new reference work. "

The Belgian organization for coating; VOM, writes: "This book is a veritable encyclopedia of almost all relevant coatings and surface modifications. This publication is not only a comprehensive textbook for engineers and students, but also the Bible in surface technology for all who are involved in surface treatment and surface product development."
