This book presents select proceedings of the International Conference on Materials Processing and Characterization (ICMPC 2021). It particularly focuses on emerging trends related to advanced materials processing and characterization and current practices in industries. It discusses innovative manufacturing processes, standards and technologies used to broaden the knowledge of materials and also help to increase innovation and responsiveness to ever-increasing international needs, more in-depth studies of functionally graded materials/ tailor-made materials. This book will be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals working in the various areas of materials science.
