- covers the specific equipment and machinery needed for efficient blow molding product
- evaluates quality factors of finished products such as strength-to-weight ratio, impact and melt properties, flex modules (stiffness), creep and recoil, yield stress, and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR)
- examines aluminum alloy, beryllium-copper alloy, steel, and other materials suitable for molds
- details machining methods such as turning, milling, drilling, boring, grinding, and electrodischarge machining (EDM)
- explains drying methods, including hot-air, refrigeration, and desiccant systmes
- reviews storage methods of raw materials in welded or bolted silos, bulk bags, 1000 pound cartons (gaylords), and other types of containers
- explores testing methods such as infrared spectroscopy, stereolithography, ultrasonic gauging, full inspection, and random sampling
- presents convenient quick-reference tables for troubleshooting in production
- and more!
