Elsevier Feedstock Technology for Reactive Metal Injection Molding: Process, Design, and Application

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. Review A review of current and future work in the area of titanium metal injection moulding technology About the Author Dr. Peng Cao is an associate professor and Deputy Head of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, the University of Auckland, New Zealand. His group at the University of Auckland focuses on developing titanium powder technologies and new energy-storage materials. He has published >160 journal articles, three edited books, as well as 1 authored book with Elsevier in 2020. He has organized 10 international conferences, of which he chaired or co-chaired three, and delivered approximately 20 keynotes/invited talks. Dr Hayat received his master’s degree in Materials Science from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden in 2012 with a thesis on “Electric field Assisted Sintering of Metal Oxides, a novel fabrication method for ceramics. In the work related to his PhD study, he extensively studied water-soluble binder systems for titanium metal injection moulding and reported some interesting findings. These new findings shed new insight on the use of such binders in metal injection moulding industry and therefore has industrial applications. In addition, a new binder system was developed to reduce impurity uptake during processing. Currently, he is working at the University of Auckland as a Research Fellow under the mentoring of A/Prof Peng Cao. Dr Hayat is one of the key researchers in the titanium powder metallurgy research programme and also mentors other postgraduates in the programme.
