THIXOMOLDING
Everybody's talking about Thixomolding. This combination of metal casting technology and plastic injection molding is a revolutionary advancement, allowing the production of net shape metal parts in a single step.
Based on the principle that magnesium alloys become semi-solid at high temperatures, this process allows the alloys to be molded much like plastic, resulting in components that are light, strong and thin yet durable. Reduced finishing needs and quicker start-up and shutdown add to the cost-effectiveness of this innovative new metal molding process.
Acme Alliance recognized early on that Thixomolding held great promise. In fact, strategic alliance member Elkton Die Casting, LLC is the first company in North America to produce aluminum, zinc, magnesium and Thixomolded parts in one facility.
We're
ahead of the curve on emerging metal technologies. So you're
ahead of the curve, too.
