Handbook of Metal Injection Molding

Handbook of Metal Injection Molding, Second Edition, provides an authoritative guide to this important technology and its applications. Building upon the success of the first edition, this update includes the latest developments in the field and expands upon specific processing technologies. Chapters discuss component design, important powder characteristics, compound manufacture, tooling design, molding optimization, debinding and sintering. In addition, quality issues are also included, with sections on feedstock characterization, modeling and simulation, methods to qualify a MIM process, common defects and carbon content control. Final sections cover special metal injection molding processes, and more.

With its distinguished editor and expert team of international contributors, this book is an essential guide for anyone involved in the high-volume manufacture of small precision parts in high-tech industries, such as microelectronics, and biomedical and aerospace engineering.
