Feedstock Technology for Reactive Metal Injection Molding: Process, Design, and Application provides an authoritative guide on the basics of feedstock technology and the latest developments in binders for titanium metal injection moulding and their potential implications. In addition, the book presents challenges that MIM technology of reactive metals is currently facing and potential solutions for commercial success. As both commercial growth and research development are fundamentally driven by the economics of manufacture, this book presents the problems and potential solutions regarding reactive metals, making it a valuable resource for engineers intending to utilize MIM in commercial product design. - Provides comprehensive details and case studies on the feedstocks currently under extensive development, in research and in the commercial domain - Discusses the most recent developments of binder chemistry and design, along with the most critical challenges in MIM technology - Includes comprehensive evaluations with regard to feedstock characterization and impurity control
