Title: LaserAssisted Fabrication of Materials
            
                Springer Series in Materials Science
Description: Laser assisted fabrication involves shaping of materials using laser as a source of heat. It can be achieved by removal of materials (laser assisted cutting, drilling, etc.), deformation (bending, extrusion), joining (welding, soldering) and addition of materials (surface cladding or direct laser cladding). This book on ´Laser assisted Fabrication’ is aimed at developing in-depth engineering concepts on various laser assisted macro and micro-fabrication techniques with the focus on application and a review of the engineering background of different micro/macro-fabrication techniques, thermal history of the treated zone and microstructural development and evolution of properties of the treated zone.
Subjects: Lasers, industrial applications, Physics, Surfaces (Physics), Microwaves, Optical materials, Photonics Laser Technology, RF and Optical Engineering Microwaves, Thin Films Surfaces and Interfaces, Applied and Technical Physics, Laser Matter Interaction Atoms and Molecules in Strong Fields, Optical and Electronic Materials
