Completely updated with the latest technology this book is a must have for the mold designer. It provides a wealth of information to technicians working in machine set-up, maintenance, and servicing. General engineering subjects, such as strength of materials, heat exchange and transfer, and fatigue of metals are clearly presented. Guidelines for mold design are divided into elements that cover shrinkage, venting, cooling, ejection, heat expansion, gating, cold and hot runners and their balancing.

In an easy to follow format, "Mold Engineering, 2nd Edition", puts emphasis on the performance and the life of injection molds and the factors affecting this economically important area.
