The objective of this book, being the first one on magnesium injection molding, is to treat both the scientific background and the technological aspects as they are understood at present. All aspects of material development, manufacturing and engineering are covered. The book provides a single source of information covering the interdisciplinary field of net shape forming of magnesium alloys. It reflects a unique blend of science and industrial practice.



Dr. Czerwinski did 2 years of postdoctoral study at McGill University and 2 years at McMaster University.  He has a PhD in Metallurgical Engineering from McGill University, and  a PhD in Materials Engineering from the University of Mining and Metallurgy, Cracow, Poland. 

He was a University Professor of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering and a faculty member for 19 years.  Dr. Czerwinski has been a manager and principal scientist of numerous research projects sponsored by the National Research Council of Canada, universities and industry.  At present, he is a Chief Metallurgist involved in a development of the injection molding machinery and researching metallurgical aspects of semisolid injection molding of metallic alloys.

He is the author of a monograph in surface engineering; and the author and co-author of over 140 reserch papers in peer-review scientific journals and conference proceedings.

Dr.Czerwin ki is affiliated with: Professional Engineergs of Ontario, ASM International and The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.
