Abstract

In a second part of the paper another important advantage of Thixomolding will be demonstrated. As the processing technology is similar to polymer injection molding, hot runner systems can be developed which gives Thixomolding another unique selling point. Scrap can be greatly reduced, heat energy and raw material is saved and flow length can be reduced dramatically. Results will be presented for a first hot runner system that has been installed on a 220 t-Thixomolding machine.
