The Metallurgy of Anodizing Aluminum
By Judy Mary Runge
In this book, the history of the concepts critical to the discovery and development of aluminum, its alloys and the anodizing process are reviewed to provide a foundation for the challenges, achievements, and understanding of the complex relationship between the aluminum alloy and the reactions that occur during anodic oxidation. Empirical knowledge that has long sustained industrial anodizing is clarified by viewing the process as corrosion science, addressing each element of the anodizing circuit in terms of the Tafel Equation. This innovative approach enables a new level of understanding and engineering control for the mechanisms that occur as the oxide nucleates and grows, developing its characteristic highly ordered structure, which impact the practical function of the anodic aluminum oxide.

Analyzing and Troubleshooting Single-Screw Extruders
By Gregory A. Campbell, Mark A. Spalding
Classically, all prior extrusion books are based on barrel rotation physics. Literature developed over the past 15 years has led to this first book to be published based on the actual physics of the process—screw rotation physics. After the theories and the math models are developed in the first nine chapters, the models are then used to solve actual commercial problems in the remainder of the book. Realistic case studies are unique in that they describe the problem as viewed by the plant engineers and provide the actual dimensions of the screws. Knowledge is developed using a series of hypotheses that are developed and then tested, which allows a series of technical solutions. Several actual solutions are proposed with the final results that solve the problem then clearly presented. Overall, there is not a book on the market with this level of detail and disclosure. New knowledge in this book will be highly useful for production engineers, technical service engineers working with customers, consultants specializing in troubleshooting and process design, and process researchers and designers that are responsible for processes that run at maximum rates and maximum profitability.
