Comprehensive Materials Processing

Comprehensive Materials Processing, Second Edition, 13-vol set, consolidates and enhances the most up-to-date literature of the materials processing and manufacturing universe. It provides authoritative analysis of all processes, technologies, and techniques for converting industrial materials from a raw state into finished parts or products. Coverage encompasses solidification, powder, deposition, and deformation processing. Additional discussion includes plant and tool design, analysis and characterization of processing techniques, high-temperatures studies, and the influence of process scale on component characteristics and behavior. Building and expanding on the previous edition, it includes recent developments and advances in the field, such as updated processing technologies, costs and characterizations. This new edition will also explore sustainability and environmental impact of materials processing in greater detail. Comprehensive Materials Processing, Second Edition will serve as a valuable, one-stop resource to students, academics, and researchers in the fields of engineering and materials science, as well as those in adjacent fields. Industry professionals will also benefit from this comprehensive resource. - Updated to include recent developments in the field, such as updated processing technologies and costs- Explores sustainability and the environmental impact of materials- Includes practical tools such as integrated case studies, user-defined process schemata, and multimedia modeling and functionality- Maximizes research efficiency by collating the most important and established information into one concise resource with consistently formatted chapters
