Harness the precision of modern manufacturing with this concise reference manual, providing a comprehensive exploration of laser processing.

Since the laser’s invention, its use in materials processing has continually expanded. Its initial uses for procedures such as heat treatment, machining, and welding laid the groundwork for more modern uses, including laser forming, shock peening, micromachining, and nanoprocessing. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of how lasers are utilized in modern manufacturing processes. The text examines the physics of laser-material interaction, process parameters, and the latest advancements in laser technologies, as well as how industrial laser processes are developed and the diverse attributes of the resulting objects, emphasizing their significance in industrial settings. These objects exhibit distinct mechanical properties, metallurgical characteristics, and geometrical precision, all of which are crucial considerations in their utility and performance within industrial environments. Serving as a concise reference manual, it functions as a valuable resource for understanding the fundamentals, applications, production specifics, and characteristics of modern laser processing.

Readers will find this book: - Introduces emerging and previously developed laser material processes;
- Delves into various laser-based techniques such as cutting, welding, drilling, surface treatment, and additive manufacturing, emphasizing their advantages in precision, speed, and automation;
- Bridges theory and practical applications, highlighting real-world industrial use cases and innovations in laser-based manufacturing.
