Volume 3 helps you and your production team use new materials, choose the most efficient surface and edge preparation techniques, and apply coatings that enhance the appearance and performance of your final product. You'll use this book to analyze the machinability, formability and weldability of your materials, and to help assess heat treatment systems, coating processes and materials, application and curing methods, and more.

You'll rely on Forming to help you understand over 50 forming processes plus the advantages, limitations, and operating parameters for each process. Save valuable production time and gain a competitive edge with practical data that covers both the basics and advanced forming processes. 

Forming also helps you choose the most appropriate materials, utilize innovative die designs, and assess the advantages and limitations of different press types and processes.

Over 100 traditional and nontraditional machining process are analyzed. Machining helps you achieve many productivity benefits including: cost effective machine tool rebuilding, efficient speed and feed selection; comparing, selecting, and applying advanced cutting tool materials; increased output from efficient machine loading and unloading; selecting and operating flexible manufacturing systems, plus more.

This second edition serves as a foundational guide to plastics thermoforming, covering the essential topics of the industry today. The authors take a process application approach to the topic, rather than focusing on theory. The book explains materials and processes, as well as part and tool design. 

This is the fourth volume in the Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) 4-volume series authored by plastics expert Douglas M. Bryce. Use this ebook if you ever wanted to know how to startup and/or manage a plastic injection molding shop.

A Full 12 Chapters and 2 Appendices, stuffed with information. Includes hundreds of graphics, tables, charts, and photos to help you understand every concept and suggestion.

Designing and building injection molds should not be an expensive trial and error process. Achieve effective mold construction the right way by referring to this third instalment in the bestselling series. This book guides you in eliminating guesswork with critical mold design such as gate location, shape and size. And you'll even discover how to establish proper venting so you can be assured good parts will result before the first shot is made.

Use this ebook to take your experience of product development, material selection and/or product design to new, easy, practical levels.A Full 15 Chapters and 4 Appendices, stuffed with information.

This is the first in the Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) 4-volume series authored by plastics expert Douglas M. Bryce. This eBook covers it all and is an excellent resource for both novice and expert alike.

This book assists the designer in the development of parts that are functional, reliable, manufacturable, and aesthetically pleasing. Since injection molding is the most widely used manufacturing process for the production of plastic parts, a full understanding of the integrated design process presented is essential to achieving economic and functional design goals. 

This book features over 425 drawings and photographs.

This revised 3rd edition details the factors involved in the injection moulding process, from material properties and selection to troubleshooting faults, and includes the equipment types currently in use and machine settings for different types of plastics. 

Since material flow is critical in moulding, the book covers rheology and viscosity. High temperature is also discussed as it can lead to poor quality mouldings due to material degradation.
