Thixomolding:

Thixomolding technology is based on the thixotropic capabilities of some metal alloys. When heated to near melting point and when shearing forces are applied, these alloys exhibit thixotropic properties, becoming a semi-solid material in which solid particles are suspended in a liquid matrix. This thixotropic state allows the viscous metal material to flow as if it were thermo-plastic.  

　

　

　

　

　

Thixomolding Component Advantages

Thin, Stiff, Light, Shielding, Economical

  vs. PLASTICS

  • 20x Stiffer than Plastics: Thinner Walls

  • Shields EMI Radiation: No Plating

  • Thermally Conductive: Heat management

  • Dimension al Stability

  • Recyclable

  • Comparable Density

  • Perception of Quality

　

  vs. CAST METALS

  • 34% Lighter than Al; 76% Lighter than Steel

  • Thinner Walls

  • Superior Surface Finish

  • No Porosity/Leak-Free

  • Improved Properties and Process Control

  • Clean, Safe, Lower Energy Workplace

  • Perception of Quality

　

PRINCIPLE

Magnesium alloy, supplied in chip form, is heated in the cylinder of the injection-molding machine, transforming it into fluid mold in the pattern of laminar flow to minimize the porosity if the molded products.
