Manufacturing Techniques for Materials

The new trends in manufacturing techniques, and in particular additive manufacturing, have the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. In these is also the challenge as the design will no longer only be the design of component, but also the internal structures of the material must be designed and be compliant with the component function. This puts the material in the center and the book puts the finger on this and by its content takes the first steps in lifting this to the potential readers. - Anders E. W. Jarfors, Joenkoeping University, Sweden The present book presents a blend of topics that are of immense importance to students and practitioners in the world of manufacturing. Latest trends in both the conventional and emerging manufacturing techniques are addressed which will be great interest to researchers, students and industry. Most of the chapters provides a review ensuring that the subject matter will be suitable even for a non-specialist reader. It is certain that visibility of this book will be phenomenal as it provides a one-stop learning for various topics related to manufacturing. -Manoj Gupta, Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore ...very informative collection of research articles and reviews that cover the state-of-the art technologies in manufacturing and materials. The book is a must to have as a reference material for scientists, engineers, academicians and at industries. -Sankaranarayanan Seetharaman, Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore Current, up to date and great detail for manufacturing materials along with excellent references. -Jacob J.
