Discusses the laser metal deposition (LMD) process, an additive manufacturing process for fabricating three-dimensional components
Describes the repair of high-value component parts in great detail
Presents the LMD process using relevant diagrams and pictures
Helps researchers and professionals in industry gain a better understanding of the LMD process, which can be used in real-world applications
Spurs further innovations
Dr Rasheedat Modupe Mahamood has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, she is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Her research interest is in laser metal deposition process of alloys, composite and functionally graded materials. This is an emerging research area with lots of promises and potentials. This book gives an in-depth knowledge of this subject matter which helps the upcoming researchers as well as professionals or industries that are interested in the laser metal deposition process to have a better understanding of this technology and to help in the development in this field.
