Wiley New Materials, Processing and Manufacturability: Fabrication and Processing of Advanced Materials

The book focuses on multiple areas of manufacturing, including cutting-edge material processing technologies, custom-made materials, metallic and non-metallic materials, new engineering experiments, contemporary machining, joining, surface modification, and process optimization techniques. Readers will find in this volume an extensive exploration of various advanced manufacturing and material engineering topics. It includes a detailed examination of aluminum grades and their applications, an overview of cold spray additive manufacturing, and a discussion on Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) for cladding low-carbon steel plates. The volume also presents innovative approaches to brake pedal design using topology optimization, analysis of resistance-spot welding quality, and the impact of shot peening on the corrosion behavior of SiC Particle Reinforced Aluminum Composite. It highlights crucial factors in 3D printed component strength, reviews 3D milling operations with ABAQUS, and delves into the rare ferroelectric material Fresnoite. The book surveys visual sensing technologies for weld pool analysis, simulates Claus Sulfur Recovery Units with Aspen Plus, and discusses ultrasonic-assisted stir casting for metal matrix nanocomposites. It also covers the joining of dissimilar magnesium alloys, advancements in electrochemical surface coatings, unconventional machining techniques, surface coating processes using pulsed power systems, natural fiber-reinforced composite fabrication, and process parameter optimization in laser beam welding using NSGA-II. Audience The book will interest researchers in academia and industry engineers in advanced manufacturing, materials science, surface science, adhesion and coatings, production engineering, civil engineering, and welding.
