Troubleshooting extrusion problems is one of the most challenging tasks
in extrusion operations, requiring a good understanding of the extrusion
process and the material properties, good instrumentation, good analysis
tools, and a systematic and logical approach. This book addresses all
issues crucial in extrusion troubleshooting. Includes industrial case
studies, richly illustrated with photographs and photomicrographs, used
to provide exemplary approaches to efficient problem analysis and
problem solving. The interconnectivity between the different relevant
knowledge areas such as materials engineering, processing technology,
and product development is emphasized. The third edition comprises a
very significant update, with around 50% more content, especially
focusing on additional case studies.
