The book focuses on the integration of advanced manufacturing techniques with novel materials and innovative processing methods. The core objective is to provide a detailed technical overview of how additive manufacturing technologies are evolving to meet the demands of modern materials engineering.

Features:

- Discusses metal additive manufacturing processes, including selective laser melting, electron beam melting, and directed energy deposition.

- Explores the use of advanced material systems in additive manufacturing, focusing on high entropy alloys and metal matrix composites.

- Highlights recent developments, including tailored alloy design, reinforcement strategies, and the influence of process parameters on phase stability, microstructure, and performance.

- Covers data-driven approaches for process monitoring, defect prediction, parameter optimization, and quality control.

- Illustrates non-conventional thermal processing methods in additive manufacturing, with a focus on microwave-based cladding, sintering, and heat treatment techniques.

The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, production engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and materials science.
