Energy-Beam Processing of Materials: Advanced Manufacturing Using Various Energy Sources

by Norio Taniguchi, Masayuki Ikeda, Iwao Miyamoto

This book provides an introduction to advanced manufacturing processes using new energy sources, with an emphasis on the energy-beam processing of materials. The advantage of this technique is related to several alternative machining equipment may be unavailable, especially for
brittle substances; they offer very high precision; they may be the only way to achieve certain effects, for example the doping of semiconductors with ion-beams. The authors review the fundamental energy considerations for any energy-beam technique, then examine the techniques and their
applications individually.
