This comprehensive book delves into the realm of conventional and unconventional material shaping processes, exploring their hybridization in relation to theory, modeling, and industrial potential. In the ever-evolving world of manufacturing, there is a relentless pursuit of heightened productivity and precision, driven by continuous improvement and optimization strategies. Hybridization of manufacturing processes emerges as a pivotal solution, playing a critical role in achieving environmental and economic sustainability.

Structured into three parts, Hybrid Manufacturing Processes serves as a comprehensive summary of state-of-the-art hybrid manufacturing processes based on extensive literature sources and production reports. The book begins by delving into the physical fundamentals of removal and non-removal processes across macro-, micro-, and nanoscales. It then proceeds to provide an overview of possible hybridization approaches and their impact on enhancing process performance. Finally, it concludes with a summary of production outputs related to surface integrity, particularly focusing on challenging-to-machine materials.

By considering the applications of various sources of hybridization, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical interactions, or their combinations, this book appeals to a diverse range of researchers and practicing engineers within the field of manufacturing. Its systematic approach and extensive coverage make it an invaluable resource for those seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in this dynamic domain.
