Advances in Laser Materials Processing: Technology, Research and Application

Advances in Laser Materials Processing: Technology, Research and Application, Second Edition provides a revised, updated and expanded overview of the area, covering fundamental theory, technology and methods, traditional and emerging applications and potential future directions. The book begins with an overview of the technology and challenges to applying the technology in manufacturing. Parts Two thru Seven focus on essential techniques and process, including cutting, welding, annealing, hardening and peening, surface treatments, coating and materials deposition. The final part of the book considers the mathematical modeling and control of laser processes. Throughout, chapters review the scientific theory underpinning applications, offer full appraisals of the processes described and review potential future trends. Presented by an expert editor who is well-respected in the field, and who has extensive experience in developing and publishing on laser materials processing technologyCaters to a wide audience, but has a strong focus on the needs of practicing scientists and engineers at the forefront of industry applicationsProvides revised, expanded and updated coverage, including six new chapters INDICE: 1.
