Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. AM is a key low-carbon manufacturing technology incorporating net-shaping whilst avoiding complex process chains. This manufacturing technique is appealing for a variety of applications, including aerospace, oil, gas, marine, automotive, biomedical, and nuclear, due to advantages such as component design freedom, component complexity, light weighting, toolless nature, part consolidation, and decreased material waste. To overcome the performance limitations and to take advantage of the alloy design opportunities provided by AM technology, a new generation of alloys suitable for AM is needed. In addition to this, optimising process parameters and microstructure evolution during AM can lead to improved mechanical, corrosion, fatigue, irradiation, and wear properties, amongst other benefits. With a view to select the best a

Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, Jordan, was written for the corporate finance course at the MBA level and the intermediate course in many undergraduate programs. The text emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application.
