Laser Assisted Fabrication Of Materials

Download or read book Laser-Assisted Fabrication of Materials written by Jyotsna Dutta Majumdar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser assisted fabrication involves shaping of materials using laser as a source of heat. It can be achieved by removal of materials (laser assisted cutting, drilling, etc.), deformation (bending, extrusion), joining (welding, soldering) and addition of materials (surface cladding or direct laser cladding). This book on ́Laser assisted Fabrication’ is aimed at developing in-depth engineering concepts on various laser assisted macro and micro-fabrication techniques with the focus on application and a review of the engineering background of different micro/macro-fabrication techniques, thermal history of the treated zone and microstructural development and evolution of properties of the treated zone.
