Springer Electrodeposition and Surface Finishing: Fundamentals and Applications

This comprehensive volume in the Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry series brings together expert contributions covering the full scope of electrodeposition technology and surface finishing processes. Spanning seven chapters, the book examines electrodeposition and characterization of alloys and composite materials, explores the mechanistic aspects of lead electrodeposition, and details electrophoretic deposition of ceramic materials onto metal surfaces. Readers will gain essential knowledge on metal oxides for energy conversion and storage applications, anodization of aluminum processes, and the electrochemical principles underlying chemical and mechanical polishing. The text also covers critical surface treatments prior to metal finishing, making it an invaluable reference for researchers, engineers, and professionals working in electrochemistry, materials science, and industrial surface treatment applications.
