Ceramic Injection Molding

'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.'
