- Book details: 4. Edition, 04/2017
470 Pages,
Fundamentals and computational procedures are clearly explained so that no special prior knowledge of the subject is required. The mechanical configuration, handling, and maintenance of extrusion dies are described. Calibration procedures for pipes and profiles are also discussed.
This book was written for plastics engineers who need daily support in their practical work in industry and science, as well as for students preparing for their professional life.
The 4th edition is brought up to date with several important additions, including coverage of multilayer (>15 layer) dies, melt encapsulation, and simulation tools (rheological/thermal CFD simulations).
