Metal Science in Modern Manufacturing Technologies (eBook)

Maurizio Vedani is a full professor of Metallurgy and head of the Materials Section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. The main subjects of his scientific activity concern research on microstructure and mechanical behaviour during manufacturing and service of metals and metallic alloys, ranging from structural steels to non-ferrous alloys such as aluminium alloys, titanium, and magnesium alloys. Specific subjects of his research of activity in recent years are degradable Magnesium and Zinc alloys for biomedical applications, novel alloys for additive manufacturing and multi-materials produces by the same techniques. These research topics result in more than 250 papers published since 1989. Various industrial and fundamental research projects were led by Prof. Vedani, funded by Italian public institutions, by the European Union, by private companies.
