Manufacturing, as an industry, has been undergoing huge transformation in recent times due to technological development, putting manufacturing at the intersection of traditional techniques and advanced computational intelligence. This new volume offers an understanding of the nuances of this transformation. It provides an exploration of high-strength steel sections and discusses the selection of a CNC lathe using the TOPSIS method. Bibliometric insights into multi-objective optimization and metaheuristic algorithms are also discussed as is the development of high entropy alloys. The book delves into practical applications of computational intelligence, including optimizing investment casting process parameters, enhancing mobile robot navigation performance, and more. The intricate processes behind fabrication are also explored along with a study of wear and thermal behaviors of advanced composite coatings.
