Author Description

This collection of selected peer-reviewed papers includes contributions from all over the world. The topics covered include new developments and applications in subtractive processes including advanced and non-traditional processes and abrasive machining, micro/nano-fabrication, material forming, and new techniques for the processing of materials and understanding the underlying principles of materials performance enhancement. This volume will be a valuable reference source for researchers in the materials processing field who wish to understand further the underlying mechanisms and this create new and practical technologies, systems and processes. It should also be particularly useful to practising engineers in materials processing who are responsible for providing efficient and effective operations.
