Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc - Fundamentals Of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Of Metals - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Laser powder bed fusion of metals is a technology that makes use of a laser beam to selectively melt metal powder layer - by - layer in order to fabricate complex geometries in high performance materials. The technology is currently transforming aerospace and biomedical manufacturing and its adoption is widening into other industries as well including automotive energy and traditional manufacturing. With an increase in design freedom brought to bear by additive manufacturing new opportunities are emerging for designs not possible previously and in material systems that now provide sufficient performance to be qualified in end - use mission - critical applications. After decades of research and development laser powder bed fusion is now enabling a new era of digitally driven manufacturing. Fundamentals of Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Metals will provide the fundamental principles in a broad range of topics relating to metal laser powder bed fusion. The target audience includes new users focusing on graduate and undergraduate students; however this book can also serve as a reference for experienced users as well including senior researchers and engineers in industry. The current best practices are discussed in detail as well as the limitations challenges and potential research and commercial opportunities moving forward.
