Inhaltsangabe

Materials Processing: A Unified Approach to Processing of Metals, Ceramics and Polymers: Second Edition is the first textbook to bring the fundamental concepts of materials processing together in a unified approach that highlights the overlap in scientific and engineering principles. The book teaches students key principles involved in the processing of engineering materials, specifically metals, ceramics, and polymers, from starting or raw materials through to final functional forms. The book's self-contained approach is based on the state of matter most central to the shaping of the material: melt, solid, powder, dispersion and solution, and vapor. This fully updated edition includes expanded coverage on additive manufacturing, as well as adding a new section on machining. The organization has been modified and a greater emphasis has been placed on the fundamentals of processing and manufacturing methods.

• Includes comprehensive coverage on the fundamental concepts of materials processing
• Provides coverage of metals, ceramics, and polymers in one text
• Presents examples of both standard and newer additive manufacturing methods throughout
• Gives students an overview on the methods that they will likely encounter in their careers

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Lorraine F. Francis is Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Minnesota and she currently holds the 3M Chair in Experiential Learning in the College of Science and Engineering. Prof. Francis received a BS in Ceramic Engineering from Alfred University in 1985, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1987 and 1990, respectively. She then joined the University of Minnesota. Professor Francis’ research interests are broadly in the area of materials processing, including coating and printing processes and microstructure development studies. She has advised or co-advised over 50 graduate students and published over 150 journal articles and one textbook. Professor Francis has received several honors. In 2019, she was given the title of College of Science and Engineering Distinguished Professor and in 2014 she received the Horace T. Morse - University of Minnesota Alumni Association Award for Outstanding Contributions to Undergraduate Education.

Materials Processing: A Unified Approach to Processing of Metals, Ceramics and Polymers, Second Edition is the first textbook to bring the fundamental concepts of materials processing together in a unified approach that highlights the overlap in scientific and engineering principles. It teaches students the key principles involved in the processing of engineering materials, specifically metals, ceramics and polymers, from starting or raw materials through to the final functional forms. Its self-contained approach is based on the state of matter most central to the shaping of the material: melt, solid, powder, dispersion and solution, and vapor. With this approach, students learn processing fundamentals and appreciate the similarities and differences between the materials classes. This fully updated edition includes expanded coverage on additive manufacturing, as well as adding a new section on machining. The organization has been modified and a greater emphasis has been placed on the fundamentals of processing and manufacturing methods.

This book can be utilized by upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in Materials Science and Engineering who are already schooled in the structure and properties of metals, ceramics and polymers, and are ready to apply their knowledge to materials processing. It will also appeal to students from other engineering disciplines who have completed an introductory materials science and engineering course.
