New Delhi [India], July 18: Iterative International Publishers (IIP) is proud to announce the publication of Laser Assisted Processing of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), a comprehensive monograph authored by distinguished researchers and academicians Vikas Tiwari, Poresh Kumar, Dr. Kallol Mondal, Dr. Sudhanshu Shekhar Singh, Dr. Manoj Gupta, and Dr. E-Wen Huang.
Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) have revolutionized the field of advanced materials by combining the superior mechanical and thermal properties of metals with the enhanced performance characteristics of ceramic reinforcements. As industries increasingly demand lightweight, durable, and high-performance materials, laser-assisted processing technologies have emerged as a transformative manufacturing approach for developing next-generation MMCs.
The monograph Laser Assisted Processing of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) presents a comprehensive and organized understanding of laser-assisted manufacturing techniques and their role in producing advanced metal matrix composites. Authored by renowned researchers and academicians from prestigious institutions, the book explores the scientific principles, processing methodologies, material systems, and performance characteristics that define laser-processed MMCs.
The publication offers valuable insights into laser-material interactions, melt pool dynamics, reinforcement strategies, material characterization techniques, and the relationship between processing parameters and microstructural evolution. It also highlights the mechanical, tribological, and high-temperature properties of MMCs that make them suitable for demanding industrial applications such as aerospace, transportation, energy systems, and advanced manufacturing.
One of the key strengths of this monograph is its multidisciplinary approach, which bridges fundamental materials science with emerging laser-assisted additive manufacturing technologies. The authors have systematically addressed both conventional challenges and future opportunities in MMC processing, including industrial scalability, sustainable manufacturing practices, and hybrid additive manufacturing techniques.
Developed with support from the Government of India’s SPARC initiative, the work represents a significant international collaboration involving the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, the National University of Singapore, and the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. The monograph reflects extensive research contributions made by the project team in the rapidly evolving domain of laser-assisted materials processing.
Designed for graduate students, researchers, academicians, and practicing engineers, this publication serves as an invaluable resource for understanding the science and engineering of laser-assisted MMC technologies. By establishing critical relationships between processing, microstructure, and material performance, the book provides a roadmap for future innovations in advanced composite materials.
Laser Assisted Processing of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) is a timely and significant contribution to the field of materials engineering and is expected to inspire further research and technological advancements in laser-based manufacturing and high-performance composite materials.
