Overview

In recent years, injection molding has received special attention as a method for forming complex ceramic parts. High temperature applications in aerospace, advanced heat engines and electronics are but a few of the market areas that have opened up for these special materials. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the steps involved in the ceramic injection molding process. The particular binder systems, the molding and dewaxing processes serve as illustrative examples to indicate how problems can be solved. It is dedicated to providing the reader with a convenient and authoritative source of information and guidance on the use of materials, equipment and testing procedures associated with processing powders and additives into moldable formulations and for injection molding them into satisfactory ceramic products. Emphasis is placed on the applied aspects of the various process steps and the underlying theories are presented in sufficient detail that the reader will appreciate the significance of the various process parameters. All involved in the manufacture of complex ceramic parts will find this book invaluable. Ceramic engineers and anyone involved in the production of ceramics at any stage will find it of great interest and it provides a source of information for those studying ceramics at any level.

'It is rare to find a text on a given technical subject which successfully combines hands on practical considerations with the underlying theoretical details. Mutsuddy and Ford have accomplished this difficult synthesis in their recently published text on injection molding of ceramics. The result is a comprehensive tool which will serve as an excellent introductory text for those who are encountering ceramics fabrication and especially the intricacies of powder injection molding of ceramics for the first time. Additionally, this book will find a place on the reference shelf of veteran molders as well due to the broad spectrum of topics addressed.' Materials Technology 'Both experienced ceramic engineers and those new to the field will find it an invaluable reference book and guide.' Composite Structures 'The book delivers what it promises: a comprehensive overview of ceramic injection molding with extensive 'how to' guidelines which are substantiated by mechanistic explanations. And as indicated in the above review comments , potential readers of this book should not be deceived by the title. While the focus is definitely on the injection molding of ceramics, those involved with PIM of metal powders will likewise benefit greatly from the general information contained therein.' The International Journal of Powder Metallurgy
