Description & Coverage
Description:

The use of lasers in material processing has become a useful method for transforming industrial materials into finished products. The benefits of laser material processing are vast, including increased precision, high processing speed, and dustless cutting and drilling.

Advanced Manufacturing Techniques Using Laser Material Processing explores the latest methodologies for using lasers in materials manufacturing and production, the benefits of using lasers in industrial settings, as well as future outlooks for this technology. This innovative publication is an essential reference source for professionals, researchers, and graduate-level students studying manufacturing technologies and industrial engineering.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD)
  • Laser Additive Manufacturing
  • Laser Machining
  • Laser Metal Deposition
  • Laser Surface Alloying
  • Laser Surface Modification
  • Laser-Material Interaction
  • Process Optimization
Reviews & Statements

Mechanical engineers describe different laser material processing technologies that have helped provide solutions to many challenges in manufacturing. Their topics include laser additive manufacturing, laser-based manufacturing processes for aerospace applications, enhancing the surface integrity of titanium alloy with copper by means of the laser metal deposition process, laser surface processing for tailoring properties by optimizing the microstructure, and the computational dynamics of laser alloyed metallic materials for improved corrosion performance.
