This collection of peer-reviewed papers covers the subject areas of surface engineering/coatings, modeling, analysis and simulation of manufacturing processes, materials processing technology, mechanical behavior and fracture, computer-aided materials design, tooling testing and evaluation of materials, thermal engineering theory and applications, CAM/CAE, high-speed/precision machining and inspection technology, micro-machining technology, laser processing technology, bionic mechanisms and bio-manufacturing, digital manufacture and management, and other related topics. The work thus provides a thorough and up-to-date coverage of the topics. Review from Book News Inc.: Volume one of the three-volume set from the September 2011 conference presents recent investigations on surface engineering and coatings, materials processing, and modeling manufacturing processes. The Chinese researchers investigate the properties of Ni-SiC composite coatings, thermal fusion treated D2 steel, a cold sprayed copper coating, and a slurry for titanium casting. Volume two examines mechanical behavior and fracture, computer-aided design, tooling and testing of materials, and thermal engineering theory. The last volume reports new developments in precision machining, micro-machining technology, laser processing techniques, and digital manufacturing. Topics of the 500+ papers include deformation errors in spiral finish milling of thin-walled blades, monitoring tool wear in rotary ultrasonic machining of ceramics, real-time vibration control of steel strips immersed in fluid, a quality information system for electronic ballasts, and the decrease of harmful substances in reconstituted tobacco sheet.
