This document is a comprehensive manual on TLA method in its applications for monitoring wear and corrosion in industry. It describes the theory and presents case studies on TLA method applications in industry. In addition, in annexes are given tables of nuclear data relating to TLA (decay characteristics, depth distribution of reaction products, activation data for charged-particle nuclear reactions), references from INIS database on TLA and a detailed production of the application of TLA for wear measurement of superhard turning tools. %0Technical Report %NIAEA-TECDOC-924;Journal ID: ISSN 1011-4289; Other: ON: DE97618846; TRN: XA9743680028202 %1 %CIAEA %Rhttps://doi.org/ Journal ID: ISSN 1011-4289; Other: ON: DE97618846; TRN: XA9743680028202 INIS %GEnglish
