A practical guide to extrusion

Chris Rauwendaal’s revised third edition organizes extrusion knowledge around the work of understanding and operating the process. Its coverage moves across materials, machinery, processing, and troubleshooting, with additional attention to interpreting process data, shrink void formation, dimensional variation linked to melt-temperature fluctuations, efficient extrusion, and grooved-barrel technology. The book is framed for use on the job and presents technical material for readers both new to the field and without an engineering degree, while also addressing process engineers and other experienced personnel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Extruder operators and supervisors seeking an on-the-job reference.
  • Technical service personnel and process engineers working with extrusion.
  • Readers new to extrusion or without an engineering degree who want a practical introduction.
