The magnesium Thixomolding, also calls magnesium semi-solid injection molding process, which make the magnesium injection molding similar to that of plastics, is an environmentally friendly solution for magnesium alloys that produces lightweight, high strength, high precision parts with lower porosity and better dimensional control than traditional magnesium die casting. It's widely used in automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical components thanks to its clean processing and excellent material properties.
Maglitek provides a one-stop rapid implementation service for magnesium alloy product development. The service covers the entire process--from Thixomolding sample preparation, material property testing and data validation, product modeling and 3D optimization, mechanical and process simulation, mold design and manufacturing, to trial casting and sample parts delivery.
By offering an integrated solution that combines equipment with material, design, and manufacturing expertise, Maglitek helps reduce development risks and ensures the rapid and high-quality production of magnesium alloy structural components.
With a full industry chain in development of magnesium alloy products, mold design and manufacturing, Maglitek thixomolding provides customers with cost-effective and high-efficient solutions with good accuracy and stable performance for continuous mass production.
Key Advantages of Magnesium Thixomolding
Exceptional Product Quality
• Fewer Defects: Laminar flow filling virtually eliminates porosity and shrinkage.
• Higher Strength: Fine, uniform grains result in mechanical properties approaching those of forgings.
• Ultra-High Precision: Low shrinkage, near-net-shape forming, and significantly reduced post-processing.Energy Saving and Environmental Protection
• Molding temperature is 50-100℃ lower than die casting, significantly reducing energy consumption.
• Less thermal shock to the mold, extending its lifespan several times over.
• Magnesium alloys are less flammable at low temperatures, offering better safety.High degree of design freedom
• One-piece molding of thin-walled, complex structures, and integrated inserts.
• Achieves high integration of parts, reducing assembly processes.A Benchmark for Green Manufacturing
• Fully enclosed production, with no slag or smoke.
• Emissions of waste gas and residue are virtually zero
Quick Comparison: Magnesium Thixomolding vs Magnesium Die Casting
| Items | Magnesium Thixomolding(magnesium semi-solid injection molding) | Magnesium Die Casting |
| Material State | semi solid magnesium slurry | fully molten metal |
| Porosity Level | very low, controlled filling reduces defects | higher (real about 1.5–3.5%), due to turbulence and gas entrapment |
| Oxidation Risk | minimal, enclosed system, argon sealed barrel | higher, but limited exposed to air by automatic quantitative furnace |
| Dimensional Accuracy | excellent, thin walls, stable flow | good, but limited by turbulence, casting deformation |
| Mechanical Properties | the grains are fine and uniform, superior strength, heat-treatable strengthening | relatively low mechanical properties and surface quality |
| Tool Lifetime | lower wear due to lower temperatures, 580-610℃ | higher wear due to high temperature molten metal, 680-720℃ |
| Material Utilization Rate | high, semi-solid, low scrap, the first-time utilization rate to 85% | lower, gating, runners, oxidation losses, the first-time utilization rate to 65% |
| Energy and Emissions | enegry save 30-50%, significantly reduce carbon emission, green manufacturing | approximately 800 kWh/ton, SF₆ protective gas, large carbon emission |
| Costs | higher machine cost, slower cycle time, efficient for precision parts | lower cost, produce very fast, ideal for mass production |
Maglitek started its magnesium thixomolding process since October, 2025. The technology of the thixomolding is contributing to Maglitek's new growth with the stable production….
