Polymer, Metal, and Ceramic Composites Manufacturing: Material Fundamentals and Conventional and Additive Manufacturing Techniques (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780443406041)

Polymer, Metal, and Ceramic Composites Manufacturing: Material Fundamentals and Conventional and Additive Manufacturing Techniques offers a detailed, comparative analysis of the various techniques that can be used to create these materials, from conventional to cutting-edge. The book provides insights into the fundamentals of composite materials, covering their properties and applications, discussing options for their manufacture, and highlighting challenges, solutions, and best-use applications. Conventional techniques such as vacuum bagging, filament winding, powder metallurgy, solid state welding, and more are outlined. Additive manufacturing techniques covered include fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, digital light processing, and more.

The book also provides a comparative analysis of these manufacturing techniques, discussing the material properties, manufacturing process efficiency, and environmental impact of both conventional and additive manufacturing of these materials. Case studies, quality control, testing methods, and future trends are also included.
