by Dominick V. Rosato

This new edition of a bestselling standard is the complete source for a simplified and consolidated explanation of the injection molding operation and each of its aspects. Taking a practical approach, Injection Molding Handbook provides only essential information in chapters that are organized to best present a methodology for injection molding. It examines considerable technological advancements, especially those in computer methods, that have been made since the classic first volume was published, and looks toward trends in the field. A concise yet thorough survey of injection molding, this edition contains information needed to understand and implement the entire injection molding procedures by interrelating important processing steps, including design, operation, handling, troubleshooting, testing and quality controls, and economics; reduce costs significantly by minimizing the amount of plastic used to meet performance requirements; optimize design by focusing on material composition, structural organization during molding, and molding conditions; and streamline processes by anticipating problems that can occur during what causes them, how to eliminate them and/or how to take corrective action. Anyone involved in injection molding - whether directly or indirectly, technical or nontechnical - will find Injection Molding Handbook an indispensable resource. It is essential for mold engineers and designers, product and parts designers (including industrial designers), process engineers and designers, technicians, technical managers, equipment operators, vendors, and materials engineers in plastics and plastic composites. This handbook will also be of value to students of manufacturing, plastics engineering, or polymer processing.
