How Thixomolding is Redefining Electric Vehicle Production

The rapid expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) has transformed the automotive industry, driving demand for lightweight, durable, and high-precision components. One groundbreaking solution at the forefront of this revolution is Thixomolding. By combining elements of die-casting and injection molding, Thixomolding delivers superior electric vehicle parts with unmatched precision and performance.

YIZUMI, a global leader in molding technology, offers innovative Thixomolding Machines that redefine production standards for electric vehicle manufacturing. Our machines not only improve production efficiency but also provide eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions, making YIZUMI the preferred choice for EV manufacturers.

What is Thixomolding?

Thixomolding is an advanced process that uses magnesium alloy chips as raw materials. These chips are conveyed through a reciprocating screw and gradually heated in a controlled environment to form a semi-solid slurry. This slurry is injected into a closed mold cavity to create complex and high-precision parts.

Unlike traditional die-casting, Thixomolding Machines operate at lower temperatures (50–70°C lower), which improves die life and reduces energy consumption. YIZUMI's Thixomolding process ensures that electric vehicle parts are highly durable, deformation-resistant, and free from shrinkage.

Why Thixomolding is Ideal for Electric Vehicle Parts

The EV industry demands lightweight yet strong components to enhance vehicle efficiency and performance. Magnesium alloys used in Thixomolding are ideal for producing electric vehicle parts because they are:

1. Lightweight: Magnesium alloys are 30% lighter than aluminum, contributing to reduced vehicle weight.

2. Durable: Thixomolded parts exhibit superior resistance to deformation and wear.

3. Precision-Crafted: YIZUMI's Thixomolding Machines enable precise control over speed, temperature, and pressure, resulting in parts with excellent surface quality.

YIZUMI's technology addresses the challenges faced by EV manufacturers by offering a seamless solution for producing intricate and high-strength parts at scale.

Thixomolding vs. Traditional Die Casting

While both Thixomolding and traditional die casting share certain similarities in their approach to manufacturing, Thixomolding offers several distinct advantages that make it particularly well-suited for producing components in industries like electric vehicles (EVs). Thixomolding, which involves injecting semi-solid metal alloys into a mold at a temperature between solid and liquid, can produce parts with better mechanical properties, reduced porosity, and enhanced surface finish compared to traditional die casting methods.

This makes Thixomolding an ideal choice for the production of lightweight, high-strength, and intricate components needed in electric vehicle applications, such as battery enclosures, motor casings, and structural parts.

Furthermore, Thixomolding allows for better control over the material flow and reduced shrinkage, which is crucial for ensuring the reliability and longevity of EV parts.

Additionally, Thixomolding's ability to process a wider range of materials, including magnesium and aluminum alloys, provides greater flexibility in designing parts that meet the unique requirements of electric vehicle systems, ultimately contributing to improved performance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in EV manufacturing:

1. Lower Molding Temperatures

Thixomolding operates at lower temperatures, which enhances die longevity and reduces energy consumption.

2. Improved Part Quality

Thixomolded parts have minimal shrinkage, superior surface quality, and better structural integrity.

3. Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Unlike die-casting, Thixomolding eliminates the need for SF6 gas, reducing environmental impact.

YIZUMI's Thixomolding technology combines the strengths of both die-casting and injection molding, setting a new standard for quality and sustainability in EV production.
