Laser Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Materials and Components

Laser Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Materials and Components discusses the current state and future development of laser additive manufacturing technologies from the aspects of material, structure, process, and performance. With the increasing use of industrial applications, additive manufacturing processes are deepening and the technology continues to evolve. With the series of new scientific and technological challenges emerging, there is a need for an interdisciplinary and comprehensive discussion of material preparation and forming, structure design and optimization, laser process and its control, microstructure and performance characterization, and innovative industrial applications.

This book explores the fundamental scientific theories and technical principles behind the elements of laser additive manufacturing, touching upon those scientific and technological challenges faced by laser additive manufacturing technology in material, structure, process, performance and other aspects, as well as the corresponding systematic solutions, scientific theories and technical principles. This book is suitable for those who want to further "understand" and "master" laser additive manufacturing technology and will expose readers to the innovative industrial applications of laser additive manufacturing technologies to meet the significant demand from aeronautical and astronautical high-end modern industries on low-cost, short-cycle and net-shape manufacturing of structure-function integrated metallic components.
