Abstract
This book presents the laser metal deposition process, and advanced manufacturing process that belongs to a class of additive manufacturing technologies for the production of metals alloys and composite materials. The additive manufacturing technology was introduced and the brief background of the laser metal deposition process was also reviewed. The important energy source used in the laser metal deposition process is laser and it offers a number of capabilities that makes this manufacturing process to leave up what is expected. The laser was also reviewed in Chap. 2 of the book to bring to understanding of the reader and to know how important laser is in the laser metal deposition process. The processing parameters are of great importance in the laser metal deposition process and are also analyzed in this book. Areas of applications, case study and research advancement in laser metal deposition process are also presented. This chapter presents the future research direction in the field of laser metal deposition process and the chapter ends with the summary of the book.
