Abstract

Because of its capacity for continuous development and flexibility of use, the
laser has become a mainstream manufacturing tool in many industrial sectors.
This timely book relays the state-of-the-art in laser materials processing
technology and applications and likely advances to be made from current
research taking place around the world. The book also promotes appreciation
for laser applications in a variety of industrial sectors.
With its distinguished editorial team and contributions from renowned
researchers working in every corner of the globe, Advances in laser materials
processing provides a comprehensive yet detailed coverage of the many topics
that comprise the field of laser materials processing. It provides a reference
source for the scientists and engineers in such areas as metals processing and
microelectronics, as well those conducting laser materials processing research in
either academia or industry.
