Magnesium thixomolding produces thinner, lighter and stronger parts than are possible with engineered plastics and die casting. This process also offers numerous cost advantages over other production methods. These advantages include higher product yield, increased die life, lower utility cost and consistency of process.
Additional advantages of magnesium:
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Good machinability
- Good heat-transfer characteristics
- Non-magnetic
- Higher temperature applications than plastic
- Easier to recycle than plastic
- Excellent damping capacity
