Modern Manufacturing Processes for Aircraft Materials

Modern Manufacturing Processes for Aircraft Materials presents a detailed review of advanced manufacturing processes exclusively used for aircraft materials including metals, polymers, and composites. Advanced manufacturing methods are discussed as well as recent non-conventional manufacturing methods for aircraft-specific materials. Key important processes that are discussed include additive manufacturing for both polymeric and metallic materials, electrical discharge machining, laser welding, electron beam welding, and micro-machining. In addition to the theoretical discussion, various examples of case studies are presented from reputable research centers, and institutes.

Modern Manufacturing Processes for Aircraft Materials will be a valuable reference resource for academic researchers, materials scientists, and industrial engineers working in manufacturing of advanced materials for the aircraft industry.
