Research and Markets has announced the addition of Woodhead Publishing Ltd's new book "Handbook of metal injection molding" to their offering.
Metal injection molding combines the most useful characteristics of powder metallurgy and plastic injection molding to facilitate the production of small, complex-shaped metal components with outstanding mechanical properties.
The Handbook of Metal Injection Molding provides an authoritative guide to this important technology and its applications. Part one discusses the fundamentals of the metal injection molding process. Part two provides a detailed review of quality issues. Special metal injection molding processes are the focus of part three. Finally, part four explores metal injection molding of particular materials, including stainless steels, titanium and titanium alloys, thermal management alloys, high speed tool steels, heavy alloys, refractory metals, hard metals and soft magnetic alloys.
