Thixomolding Vs. Dynathixo

Thixomolding uses solid chips that are compressed, heated, and mixed into a semisolid material before being injected into the die with the extruder.

Dynathixo combines Dynacast’s cold chamber process with a thixomolding extruder to mix solid chips into the pressure chamber, utilizing a cold chamber plunger and hydraulic system for a robust operation.

Inside the Dynathixo Process

The Dynathixo process involves feeding magnesium alloy chips into a heating chamber where they are mechanically processed and sheared by a rotating screw inside a barrel, transforming them from dendritic to globular state. The semisolid material is then injected into a preheated mold under high pressure, allowing for thinner walls, lower porosity.

Engineered by Dynacast for Optimal Quality and Efficiency

The Dynathixo machine delivers superior material properties, lower energy consumption, reduced CO2 emissions, longer tool life, and less waste compared to die casting magnesium with a standard cold chamber machine.

Achieve Superior Quality with Dynathixo

Dynathixo helps prevent air entrapment, resulting in thinner walls, improved flow, and reduced wear on the sleeve and plunger.

A Sustainable Solution

The Dynathixo process optimizes energy efficiency by heating the material at a lower temperature and eliminates the need for inert gases, reducing both energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Additionally, since the Dynathixo machine only requires a nozzle tip, it achieves excellent shot weight ratio without the need for a tablet rest.

Convert to Dynathixo and Revolutionize Your Manufacturing Process

Converting from plastic injection molding to Dynathixo die casting enhances strength, damping, shielding, and stiffness, with thixomolded magnesium offering superior durability and performance over plastic part. Prioritizing metal over plastic helps drive a more eco-friendly and sustainable solution.
