The aim of this book is to help towards a broader and clearer understanding of what may soon become a major metallurgical technique - plasma metallurgy. The book gives a comprehensive yet readily understood explanation of how the use of low-temperature plasma affects the mechanisms and thermodynamics of metallurgical reactions. It deals with fundamentals, describing present equipment and applications to illustrate the scope of plasma techniques. Chapters are devoted to the elementary processes in a plasma, the properties of plasma-forming gases, plasma sources and their circuit schemes, primary and secondary metallurgy operations in the extraction and refining of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, and some representative applications. No prior knowledge of the field is necessary; the book is intended for equipment and process designers, research workers, industrial management staff, and students.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to and technical description of a unique patented surface-modification technology: plasma surface metallurgy with double-glow discharge plasma process, known as the Xu-Tec process. As such it promotes further attention and interest in scientific research and engineering development in this area, as well as industrial utilization and product commercialization. The Xu-Tec process has opened up a new material engineering field of “Plasma Surface Metallurgy”. This surface-modification process can transform many low-grade and low-cost industrial engineering materials into “gold” materials with a high value and high grade or special functions. This improved material can be widely used in industrial production to improve the surface performance and quality of mechanical parts and manufacturing products, and to conserve expensive alloying elements for the benefit of all mankind. “This book will be valuable to those in the general area of surface metallurgy. The substantial description of the Xu-Tec process is very important and should assist in expanding the use of this superior technique. The in-depth explanation of glow discharges and their use in general will also serve as a valuable reference in the field.” James E.

Plasma processing of materials is a critical technology to several of the largest manufacturing industries in the worldâ€"electronics, aerospace, automotive, steel, biomedical, and toxic waste management. This book describes the relationship between plasma processes and the many industrial applications, examines in detail plasma processing in the electronics industry, highlights the scientific foundation underlying this technology, and discusses education issues in this multidisciplinary field. The committee recommends a coordinated, focused, and well-funded research program in this area that involves the university, federal laboratory, and industrial sectors of the community. It also points out that because plasma processing is an integral part of the infrastructure of so many American industries, it is important for both the economy and the national security that America maintain a strong leadership role in this technology.
