Magnesium Thixomolding
Lüle Plastik is advancing its production capabilities for lightweight, high-strength, and precision components with magnesium thixomolding machines ranging from 350 to 850 tons in capacity. By commissioning this technology as of 2026, the company aims to become one of the pioneer manufacturers in the field of magnesium thixomolding in Turkey.
Thixomolding is an advanced forming technology based on processing magnesium within its semi-solid temperature range, enabling high-speed, one-step, and near-net-shape production. Unlike traditional casting methods, this process allows magnesium to be formed with a more controlled and laminar flow, resulting in a denser material structure, superior quality, and more stable mechanical properties.
Key advantages of this technology include reduced part weight, the ability to manufacture complex geometries, high production speeds, minimal machining requirements, and extended mold life. Furthermore, it enhances product quality and process reliability by significantly reducing common casting defects such as porosity, shrinkage, hot tearing, and segregation.
