Thixomolding !new! Now

Thixomolding combines the principles of plastics injection molding and metal die casting. It exploits the behavior of certain alloys: when a semi-solid slurry is sheared, its viscosity drops dramatically, allowing it to flow like a liquid. When shearing stops, it solidifies.

Thixomolding: The Future of High-Performance Magnesium Manufacturing thixomolding

Thixomolding is a mature, commercially proven manufacturing process that offers significant advantages over conventional die casting for magnesium alloys — including superior mechanical properties, tighter tolerances, longer tool life, and enhanced safety. Its adoption continues to grow in weight-sensitive industries. The primary barriers remain high equipment cost and limited material scope, but ongoing research into aluminum and magnesium-lithium alloys promises to broaden its application range.

Thixomolding offers several advantages over traditional manufacturing processes: its viscosity drops dramatically

Thixomolding can incorporate ceramic particles (SiC, Al₂O₃) or carbon nanotubes to create metal matrix composites (MMCs) directly during processing.
