BOLE presents new magnesium injection technology at Euroguss

Exhibitors from 33 countries were demonstrating everything die casting has to offer at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg – from the smallest zinc die castings to huge castings (“giga-castings”) made of aluminium.

One of the more interesting technologies on show in Nuremberg was Thixomolding - technology dedicated to magnesium alloys.

The demand for durable, lightweight products has driven the significant growth of magnesium thixomolding. Its many advantages make it a suitable choice for manufacturing parts found in automotive, consumer products, defense, electronics, handheld devices and sports equipment. As a result, magnesium thixomolding is becoming the favored capability in producing various products in all markets.

BOLE, a manufacturer of injection moulding machines, has a significant achievement in the field of thixomolding. The company has a long-standing partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, with which it shares a laboratory. Thanks to its patented technology, the concern is able to produce injection moulding machines with the largest injection size and has satisfactory solutions for material modification to achieve adequate anti-corrosion properties, high conductivity and greater strength.

At Euroguss, BOLE is presenting its latest developments in this field. BOLE has a range of injection moulding machines designed for tix moulding, with machines up to 1,600 tonnes and injection weights up to 17 kg available at the BOLE technical centre in China.
