Molding machine

Thixomolding Magnesium Components as Easy as Plastic Injection Molding The thixomolding process uses magnesium alloy chips as raw materials. By conveying and cutting chips through the reciprocating screw and heating by the barrel simultaneously, the chips gradually become a semi-solid slurry that remains at the front end of the screw. When there is enough slurry stored at the front end, the screw is injected forward and the semi-solid slurry is injected into the closed mold cavity to form. Combines with die-casting and injection molding techniques, the mold and molding material of thixomolding is similar to the die-casting processes, while its injection processes are close to plastic injection molding. Application Highlights More complex products can be formed Higher injection pressure and acceleration performance. High-precision thixomolded parts with superior surface quality The measurement, speed, pressure, temperature, etc., could all be controlled in the molding process precisely. Durable and resistant to deformation Molding temperature is 50–70 °C lower than die casting, and die life is two times longer. Thrinkage free and safer without contact to the atmosphere The magnesium alloy slurry is in a completely closed environment, the temperature of the semi-solid slurry is lower, and less melting magnesium alloy in the barrel. More eco-friendly Remove the use of SF6 as protection gas. In hope to prominently reduce the production and operation cost of enterprises, improve their production efficiency, and create greater value for them, we provide solutions for robotic application and intelligent manufacturing for the production process in different industries.
