This book entitled Laser Additive Manufacturing of High-Performance Materials covers the
specific aspects of laser additive manufacturing of high-performance new materials components
based on an unconventional materials incremental manufacturing philosophy in terms of
materials design and preparation process control and optimization and theories of physical and
chemical metallurgy. This book describes the capabilities and characteristics of the
development of new metallic materials components by laser additive manufacturing process
including nanostructured materials in situ composite materials particle reinforced metal
matrix composites etc. The topics presented in this book similar as laser additive
manufacturing technology itself show a significant interdisciplinary feature integrating
laser technology materials science metallurgical engineering and mechanical engineering. This
is a book for researchers students practicing engineers and manufacturing industry
professionals interested in laser additive manufacturing and laser materials processing.
