This book focuses on strengthening and joining materials by means of plastic deformation, gathering extended research papers presented at the AIMTDR 2016 conference. Plastic deformation is used in materials processing to improve the strength of the material. For example, the rod/screw used to connect the cooker handle to the main body has to be strong and sustainable; such rods can be strengthened by plastic deformation (using multi-stage forming operations etc.). Similarly, joining by means of plastic deformation is highly valuable since it avoids the material and environmental degradation often caused by fusion welding processes. The book discusses various processing techniques in which plastic deformation is used to strengthen materials – e.g. in equal channel angular extrusion, autofrettage etc., or to join materials without melting them – e.g. in friction stir processing, riveting etc. Offering an extensive guide, the book includes chapters on roll bonding, equal channel angular pressing, autofrettage, friction stir processing/welding, magnetic pulse welding, and riveting – processes used to strengthen and join a variety of materials for lightweight applications and sustainable manufacturing. The contents of this book will be useful to researchers and practitioners alike. 

This book mainly addresses the applications of lasers in the manufacture of various industrial components. The technologies presented here have scopes of application ranging from the macro to meso and micro level of components and features. This book includes chapters on the basic and advanced applications of lasers in the manufacturing domain. They present theoretical and practical aspects of laser technology for various applications such as laser-based machining, micro-scribing, texturing, machining of micro-sized channels; laser welding; laser-based correction of sheet metal, i.e. straightening; laser forming; and laser technology for 3-D printing. Lasers have various applications such as the production of powerful lights for illumination or decoration; measurement of velocity (transportation) and length; interferometry; printing; recording; communication; bio-medical instrumentation and pollution detection. A significant body of literature is available on the physics of lasers and types of lasers. However it has been noted there are a few books published on the “applications of lasers in manufacturing domain,” a gap that this book remedies. Gathering contributions by leading engineers and academicians in this area, it offers a valuable source of information for young scientists and research students.

This book is on various advanced, simple, and novel techniques being used and developed in the area of manufacturing processes. Manufacturing sector is one of the important areas which help to improve the economy of our nation. It not only generates employment opportunities but also makes us self-reliant (aatma nirbhar). In line with this important agenda of Government of India, this track envisages high-quality research contributions in the field of low-cost manufacturing technologies. It comprises the research and development studies on the various factors that influence the cost of manufacturing of product or system. The factors are materials, manufacturing processes, material handling processes, skilled manpower, quality control technologies, effective communication, and use of artificial intelligence techniques. The papers are on both numerical and experimental research works related to these aspects.  

This volume presents a selection of papers from the 2nd International Conference on Computational Methods in Manufacturing (ICCMM 2019). The papers cover the recent advances in computational methods for simulating various manufacturing processes like machining, laser welding, laser bending, strip rolling, surface characterization and measurement. Articles in this volume discuss both the development of new methods and the application and efficacy of existing computational methods in manufacturing sector. This volume will be of interest to researchers in both industry and academia working on computational methods in manufacturing.
