Overview

Laser machining is an emerging area with a wide variety of applications, ranging from bulk machining in metal forming to micromachining and microstructuring in electronics and biomedical applications. The unique properties of lasers allow for use in flexible manufacturing techniques such as laser-assisted mechanical machining (LAM) and laser-assisted chemical machining (LCM). Laser Fabrication and Machining of Materials provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and emerging applications of lasers related to material removal and forming processes, and also provides a link between advanced materials and advanced processing and manufacturing techniques.

Laser Fabrication and Machining of Materials introduces readers to the fundamental properties and physical phenomena of laser machining and its applications on the macro, micro, and nano scales. Examples of existing, emerging, and potential techniques are discussed, giving students and practicing engineers alike the opportunity to expand their use of lasers in such disciplines as mechanical processes, electronics, materials, and manufacturing.

Reviews

From the reviews: <p> Dahotre and Harimkar a ] have prepared a comprehensive, well-written reference on laser machining. a ] The authors have successfully balanced the principles and physics of thermal processes with sufficient applied mathematics that does not overwhelm the reader. A fair knowledge of partial differential equations with emphasis on the diffusion equation in semi-infinite domains is helpful. The book provides an up-to-date bibliography that is immensely helpful for researchers in laser fabrications, ranging from macroscales to nanoscales. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above. (R. N. Laoulache, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (10), June, 2008)
