Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Technologies

Materials and manufacturing techniques are a few of the vital processes in production industries. Most of the materials processing and manufacturing techniques currently used in industries are a major cause of environmental pollution and are hence unsustainable. This book provides in-depth knowledge about challenges faced during the processing of advanced materials and discusses possible ways to achieve sustainability in manufacturing.

This book:

• Covers advances in cryogenic machining, optimization, and economical and energy assessment of machining
• Provides case studies and numerical design with analysis using computational fluid dynamics of minimum quantity lubrication mist droplets
• Reviews metalworking fluids, laser micro-texturing, materials and manufacturing in sustainability, biofuels additives, nano-materials, and additive manufacturing of waste plastic
• Explores the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning-based manufacturing techniques; and
• Covers the latest challenges and future trends in sustainable manufacturing

Sustainable Materials and Manufacturing Technologies is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, and production engineering, and material science.
