Lijing TPI Magnesium Alloy Semi-Solid Thixotropic Casting Process Showcased at Germany IAA Mobility 2025 Exhibition

Recently, IAA MOBILITY 2025 (formerly known as the "Frankfurt Motor Show") was held in Munich, Germany. More than 700 exhibitors from 37 countries around the world participated, showcasing over 350 innovative products for the first time globally.

At Hall A3, Booth B20, LK Group showcased its leading TPI magnesium alloy semi-solid thixotropic casting process solutions to attendees, meeting the growing demand for magnesium alloy castings in the automotive industries of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, and other European countries.Promote technological innovation and the application of magnesium in the manufacturing of automotive components.

Due to its advantages of light weight, good performance, and high cost-effectiveness, magnesium is widely used in automotive gearboxes, front-end structures, steering systems, wheels, seats, as well as in aerospace, construction templates, 3C electronic products, and biomedical applications.It is becoming an important driving force for enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises within the industrial chain.

The TPI magnesium alloy semi-solid thixotropic casting process can be integrated with traditional die casting machines.Switching time takes only 8 hours.Casting larger products under high pressure has better energy efficiency and produces ultra-thin wall magnesium alloy products.No scrap sheets, no runners, no waste, cost-saving.Compared with cold chamber die casting machines, energy consumption is reduced by 50%.。The amount of high-temperature magnesium used is small, approximately 2-3 times the shot size. A screw with a larger diameter and length can be employed to achieve a higher melting rate or alloy required for larger products.

Amidst the global trend of lightweighting and green manufacturing of devices, magnesium alloys are becoming the focus of attention in multiple industries due to their excellent performance and broad application prospects.Especially the mature application of high-pressure die casting and semi-solid die casting technologies has significantly improved the efficiency and performance of magnesium alloys in the production of complex components, providing solid technical support for the rapid development of magnesium materials.

LK Group has been deeply cultivating the magnesium alloy industry market for many years, continuously advancing the development and application of innovative and practical magnesium alloy die-casting technologies. In 2000, LK took the lead in launching China’s first hot chamber magnesium alloy die-casting machine DC160M and cold chamber magnesium alloy die-casting machine DCC630M. From 2002 to 2009, the company introduced large-tonnage magnesium alloy die-casting machines DCC2000M and DCC3000M, led the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” National Science and Technology Key Project “Development, Application, and Industrialization of Magnesium Alloys,” and took the lead in formulating six national and industry standards for magnesium alloy die casting. From 2016 to 2020, LK was deeply involved in the National Key R&D Program “High-Performance Magnesium/Aluminum Alloy High-Quality Casting Preparation Technology.” In 2022, the company launched 160T-2800T magnesium alloy semi-solid injection molding machines, and in 2024, the TPI magnesium alloy semi-solid thixocasting machine was introduced.

Currently, new concepts and technologies are redefining the fields of automotive, bicycles, and low-altitude economy. Lijin Group is committed to providing advanced technological solutions and services, developing new quality productivity, continuously improving people's travel methods and life experiences, and promoting industry prosperity and sustainable growth of the industrial economy.
