The informal style of Laser Material Processing (4th Edition) will guide you smoothly from the basics of laser physics to the detailed treatment of all themajor materials processing techniques for which lasers are now essential. Helps you to understand how the laser works and to decide which laser is best foryour purposes. New chapters on laser physics, drilling, micro- and nanomanufacturing and biomedical laser processing reflect the changes in the field sincethe last edition, updating and completing the range of practical knowledge about the processes possible with lasers already familiar to established users of this well-known text. Provides a firm grounding in the safety aspects of laser use. Now with end-of-chapter exercises to help students assimilate information as they learn. The authors’ lively presentation is supported by a number of original cartoons by Patrick Wright and Noel Ford which will bring a smile to your face and ease the learning process. Gives students all they need to know to gain work using lasers in an industrial environment Provides and excellent place to start for the in-depth academic study of any of the large number oflaser-based techniques discussed For tutors, end-of-chapter cartoons will make a great way to lighten the atmosphere of lectures INDICE: Prologue.- Background to Laser Design and General Applications.- Basic Laser Optics.- Laser Cutting, Drilling and Piercing.- Laser Welding.- Theory, Mathematical Modeling and simulation; Laser Surface Treatment.- Rapid Prototyping and Low-volume Manufacture.- Laser Ablative Processes – Macro and Micro Machining.- Laser Bending or Forming.- Laser Cleaning.- Biomedical Laser Processes and Equipment.- Laser Automation and In-process Sensing.- Laser Safety.- Epilogue.
