The process enables the safe processing of magnesium, as only a small amount of Mg is heated just in time, making magnesium processing CO2-neutral (no protective gas, purely electric). Use of semi-solid Mg for low energy consumption and high product quality. Foundries can switch from aluminum die casting to magnesium thixomolding using the same equipment – the changeover can be completed within a single shift. With huge screws that are used exclusively for preparing the mass, large quantities of magnesium can be supplied just in time, while die casting is carried out with the die casting plunger. TPI aims to combine the best of thixomolding and die casting.
