Synopsis

The injection molding industry has a new, up-to-date, comprehensive handbook. Serving engineers, professionals, and others involved in this important industry sector, the handbook thoroughly covers every detail of the machine and the process. This all-encompassing resource also includes the topics directly affecting the injection molding process, such as materials, process control, simulation, design, and troubleshooting.

The handbook presents a well-rounded overview of the underlying theory and physics that control the common injection molding process variation, without losing the practical hands-on presentation used throughout. This important book was written by a specifically chosen group of authors with a wide range of experience and perspective on the injection molding process - authors who are leading practitioners and researchers both in industry and academia.

About this title

Synopsis

This new book serves as an introductory textbook for students getting acquainted with injection molding. It presents a thorough, up-to-date view of injection molding processing equipment and techniques, with sufficient related fundamental information on chemistry, physics, material science, and process engineering. This handbook was written to serve engineers, professionals and others involved with this important industry sector. It not only covers the injection molding machine and process, but also includes the topics that directly affect the injection molding process, such as materials, process control, simulation, design and troubleshooting. The handbook presents a well-rounded overview of the underlying theory and physics that control the various injection molding processes without loosing the practical flavor that governs the manuscript between its covers. The carefully chosen set of authors includes experts in the field, practitioners and researchers in both industry and academia. The first three chapters of this handbook present the fundamental background, covering basic process principles and materials.

Here, a unified approach is used pulling in the influence of processing on the properties of a finished product. Chapters 4 through 6 present the injection molding machine, which includes the plasticating and clamping units, as well as the injection mold. Materials handling is introduced in Chapter 7 and statistical process control, as related to injection molding, is presented in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 gives an in-depth overview of special injection molding processes. Product design and injection molding simulation is presented in Chapters 10 and 11, respectively. The last two chapters present extensive process and material troubleshooting procedures that will be useful to anyone in the industry at any stage of process and product design.
