Description
Lasers have proven ability to replace existing equipment and tools in order to perform a wide range of tasks in the fields of engineering and medicine. Advances in Laser Materials Processing Technology is a comprehensive practitioner guide and reference work explaining `state of the art' laser processing technologies in manufacturing and other disciplines. Further discussion considers the potential and future directions through the continuous development of new, application-specific lasers in materials processing. Applications as diverse in nature as micro- and nano-scale manufacturing to the treatment of building materials are described.

Description
Because of its capacity for continuous development and flexibility of use, the laser has become a mainstream manufacturing tool in many industrial sectors. This timely book relays the state-of-the-art in laser materials processing technology and applications and likely advances to be made from current research taking place around the world. The book also promotes appreciation for laser applications in a variety of industrial sectors.After two introductory chapters, the book reviews the main areas of laser processing. Starting with laser cutting and machining, the book discusses laser welding, annealing and hardening. It then considers surface treatment, coating and materials deposition as well as other engineering techniques such as peening and net-shape engineering, before discussing laser micro and nano-fabrication techniques. The book concludes by looking at modelling and process control.With its distinguished editorial team and contributions from renowned researchers working in every corner of the globe, Advances in laser materials processing provides a comprehensive yet detailed coverage of the many topics that comprise the field of laser materials processing. It provides a reference source for the scientists and engineers in such areas as metals processing and microelectronics, as well those conducting laser materials processing research in either academia or industry.
