The Latest Technology Trends on Thixomolding® of Magnesium Alloys

Abstract:

We developed the new technology for Thixomolding® of magnesium alloys to meet latest market requirements as the following. (1) Flood feed screw to stabilize chips feeding and its melting. (2) High speed and quick response new series machine to improve injection performance. (3) Long nozzle to increase the yield ratio about parts per shot.
