Thixoforming

by Gerhard Hirt (Editor), Reiner Kopp (Editor)

Offering a sound technological overview, while also including the fundamental aspects, this book provides the knowledge needed to master the highly challenging process characteristics for successful application in industrial production. It summarizes the first-hand experience gained from twelve years of collaborative research covering materials science, rheology, casting and forming, control and surface technology as well as the modeling of flow behavior, tool engineering and systems engineering, and thus treats all the vital aspects of this field.
For materials scientists, physicists, engineers, and those working in the metal processing industry.
