Forming and Machining of Polymers, Ceramics, and Composites

Forming and Machining of Polymers, Ceramics, and Composites targets the two important manufacturing processes where plastic deformation is involved to give the required shape and size to the raw material. The main goal of the book is to represent the recent developments in the field of forming and machining of different non-metals, especially polymers, composites, and ceramics. Special focus is on the advancement of these processes to manufacture components from these non-metals.

• Presents exclusive material dedicated to forming and machining of non-metals, that is, polymers, ceramics, and composites
• Provides comprehensive coverage of all important topics related to non-metals processing
• Covers basics and current research in the field of forming and machining of non-metals
• Focuses on sustainability interventions and intelligent manufacturing techniques for quality and productivity in forming and machining of non-metals
• Discusses conventional and non-conventional machining and microfabrication aspects for fabrication and processing of non-metals

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in materials processing and machine design.
