Processing and Fabrication of Advanced Materials, Two Volumes Set

This interdisciplinary technical publication provides a lucid, comprehensive, convincing and compelling overview of the current state of the art and ongoing progress on aspects related and most relevant to the ever fascinating domain of processing and fabrication and its intrinsically interwoven relationship with materials spanning both the existing and emerging, which can be safely categorized as advanced. The spectrum of materials examined include the metallic, intermetallics, ceramics, ceramic-matrix composites, metal-matrix composites, intermetallic-matrix composites, polymers, polymer-matrix composites, semiconductor materials, biomaterials and even orthopedic materials. The volumes contain a healthy collection of papers, immaculately compiled and articulately assembled, put forth by practicing engineers, technologists, research scientists and academician from 13 countries. Spread in twelve sections which include 84 technical papers, these volumes cover the following areas: Processing of Metals, Metallic Materials and Metal Matrix Composites; Behavior of Metals, Intermetallic and Metal-based Composites; Advances in Metal Machining and Fabrication Techniques; Advances in Welding Processes; Metallic Foams; Micro-electronic Materials: Fabrication and Analysis; Materials: Failure, Wear and Structural Analysis; Polymer-based composites and Nano-Composites; Manufacturing, Defects and Analysis of Composite Materials; Processing, Fabrication and Behavior of Polymeric Materials; Biomaterials and Bio-composites; and, Orthopedic Materials.
