Tailoring of Properties through Mechanical Processing

As a part of promoting interaction between the National Metallurgical Laboratory, which is a premier R & D institution under the banner of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, and the Industries this Workshop has been organised. This is with a view to supplement the basic knowledge on various mechanical processing techniques to practising engineers, who may not have sufficient time and approach to literature. The present Workshop has been designed in such a way that Academicians like University Professors, Practising Engineers and R & D Scientists can focus the salient basic features and also crucial problems occurring in mechanical working area. Areas like rolling of metals, forging, extrusion, wire drawing, cladding, thermomechanical treatment are covered. Another interesting work on the emerging technology which is a combination of application of pressure in the liquid state, commonly known as 'Squeeze Casting' has also been dealt with. The lectures delivered during the course of the Workshop have been collated in the form of the present book.
