Full Description
Advances in Manufacturing for Aerospace Alloys focuses on advanced manufacturing operations and processes related to aerospace alloys. It examines traditional manufacturing methods - often insufficient for shaping aerospace alloys - and the adoption of nonconventional manufacturing techniques for these materials, such as additive manufacturing, laser welding, electrical discharge machining, and vibration assisted machining. The combination of theoretical aspects with practical applications makes this book a critical reference on state-of-the-art techniques and an instructional resource for practicing researchers and engineers, offering straightforward descriptions of manufacturing processes coupled with industry examples and case studies.
