Yizumi's Thixomolding Machine Passes Expert-level Technical Evaluation

On October 15, China Plastics Machinery Industry Association (CPMIA) organized an evaluation committee which was made up by experts well known in domestic machinery industry and semi-solid magnesium alloy to conduct a new product appraisal meeting for the UN650MGII thixomolding machine which was developed by Yizumi. The expert committee gave high marks on the technical content of the whole project and agreed that the technology, indicators and performance of the equipment had reached the advanced level of similar products in the world.

Through on-site assessment and after inspecting the site for project development and prototype manufacturing, hearing the report on the project implementation, carefully reviewing relevant information and technical documents submitted for the evaluation, the expert committee announced that Yizumi’s thixomolding machine passed the technical evaluation and suggested Yizumi further develop relevant product lineup to meet the market demand.

MG II series thixomolding machine

A thixomolding machine is equipment that processes the magnesium alloy chips, the raw materials fed and sheared by the rotating screw and heated by the barrel, into semi-solid slurry. In industrialized countries, semi-solid magnesium alloy processing technology (thixolding technology) has been mature and applied to mass production mainly in the fields of automotive, electronics, aerospace, etc. "UN650MGII thixomolding machine is a combination of Yizumi’s technical strength in thixomolding and the cutting-edge technology in the world. Through systematic study of the thixomolding process technology, times of technical improvements and experiments and mastery of the secret of meeting the temperature requirements of producing magnesium alloy slurry, the trial manufacturing of the sample thixomolding machine was completed. This machine can produce complex magnesium alloy products that have high precision and good surface quality. The maximum injection speed of UN650MGII is up to 5m/s, which is the same with the Japanese counterpart; and it takes only 12ms for the machine to accelerate from zero to 5m/s. Technical performance indicators of UN650MGII have reached Japan’s and even the world’s advanced level.

Extensive research on thixomolding has been carried out in China in the past, but no achievements have been transformed to physical products. Yizumi is the only domestic company capable of the industrial application of thixomolding technology. As early as in 2009, Yizumi started the research and development of thixomolding technology and prototype manufacturing, which filled the domestic gaps in the field of thixomolding. In 2014, Yizumi led the formulation of "Thixomolding Machine Industry Standard”. UN650MGII thixomolding machine gets completely improved in all technical specifications based on the past research and become a new generation machine, which embodies Yizumi’s technical strength.
