Additive Manufactured Materials: Advances in Thermo-Mechanical and Tribological Peculiarity (Advances in Design, Materials and Manufacturing for Sustainability)

This book discusses the thermo-mechanical and tribological behavior of various materials manufactured using additive manufacturing (AM).It examines a range of materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites and provides insights into how processing parameters can be manipulated to achieve desired thermal, mechanical, and tribological characteristics.The book also addresses challenges related to the reproducibility and reliability of AM materials, offering solutions and strategies to overcome these hurdles in both research and industrial contexts. Provides an understanding of the critical thermo-mechanical and tribological properties of additive manufactured (AM) materialsExplains how thermal stresses, heat treatment, and mechanical loading affect the performance of AM materialsOffers a focused examination of friction, wear, and lubrication characteristics in AM materialsIncludes practical examples and case studies from industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomed
