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

By Norio Taniguchi, Iwao Miyamoto, Masayuki Ikeda

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 factors: 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.
