This book describes crucial aspects related to the additive and
subtractive manufacturing of different composites.
The first half of this book mainly deals with the various types of
composite fabrication methods along with the introduction, features and
mechanisms and also the processing of composite materials via additive
manufacturing route. Also, the thermal, mechanical, physical and
chemical properties relevant to the processing of composite materials
are included in the chapters.
The second half of this book primarily demonstrates an extensive section
on the different types of additive manufacturing processes like
selective laser sintering, selective laser melting, stereolithography,
fused deposition modeling and material jetting used to fabricate the
metals and polymers. Also, the chapters address the complete description
of fabrication processes for metal matrix composites and polymer matrix
composites. Moreover, the different methods adopted such as short
peening, micro-machining, heat-treatment and solution treatment to
improve the surface improvement are well discussed.
This book gives many helps to researchers and students in the fields of
the additive and subtractive manufacturing of different composites.
