Advanced Materials and Processing are important areas of research in Engineering Science and Technology, which have to focus on bridging the critical gap between researchers and engineers in order to shape the new world. Advanced Materials and Processing play an increasingly important role in the global economy and in daily life. Researchers and engineers strive to develop new devices and processes, using mathematical and analytical tools, in order to create technologies for a rapidly expanding range of materials and manufacturing processes. A large proportion of the present papers addressed current scientific research and provided solutions to industrial problems; thereby creating an environment of mutual interest to industry and academia. The papers are grouped into 10 chapters: 1. Forming Processes, 2. Casting, Joining and Related Processes, 3. Materials, 4. Materials Removal Processes, 5. High Energy Beam Removal Process, 6. Precision Engineering and Nano-Technology, 7. Surface Engineering, 8. Computer-Aided Engineering, 9. Green Manufacturing and Management, 10. Others. This comprehensive coverage will be much appreciated by readers.

Description: The objective of this collection was to bring together researchers from academia and industry, as well as end-users, in order to share ideas, problems and solutions related to the multifaceted aspects of Materials Engineering for Advanced Technologies. The result is an up-to-date handbook guide to the subject.
