Sustainable Manufacturing Processes provides best practice advice on sustainable manufacturing methods, with examples from industry as well as important supporting theory. In the current manufacturing industry, processes and materials are developed with close reference to sustainability issues, and with an outward look to optimum production efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Important topics like the use of renewable energy, reducing material waste and recycling, reduction in energy and water consumption, and reduction in emissions are all discussed, along with broad coverage of deformation and joining technologies, computational techniques and digital engineering.
In addition, a wide range of traditional and innovative manufacturing technologies are covered, including friction stir welding, micro forming, additive manufacturing, extrusion, and hot forming.
