This new title provides an introduction to an exciting forming technique that relies on particles mixed with thermoplastic binders to shape complex components via injection moulding.
It furnishes an understanding of the steps, options, successes, and engineering attributes associated with powder injection moulding (PIM) as a manufacturing process. The book is applicable to a wide range of materials. Process descriptions are given for metals, ceramics, intermetallic compounds, cermets and composites.
