Recently, SERES and Chongqing Boao Magnesium-Aluminum Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Boao Magnesium”), a subsidiary of Baowu Magnesium, has jointly held a launch ceremony for the mass production of Thixomolding automotive components.

The milestone marks a major step forward for China’s Thixomolding technology — moving from process feasibility to stable mass production.The project is the result of close collaboration across materials, equipment, and process technologies.

In this benchmark project, YIZUMI provides the UN3200MGⅡ·Plus Thixomolding machine together with its proprietary Yi+ "Thixomolding On-Site Steward Service", delivering stable production support throughout the project and earning recognition from both SERES and Boao Magnesium.

The delivery of the equipment is only the beginning for automotive parts manufacturers. The real value lies in how quickly stable full-capacity production can be achieved.

At Boao Magnesium’s production site, the YIZUMI UN3200MGⅡ·Plus Thixomolding machine (180 mm screw diameter) was quickly ramped up for continuous 24/7 production. From March 28 to May 19, the machine ran continuously for 53 days, completing more than 30,000 cycles with a yield rate exceeding 93%. Daily output continued to increase, peaking at 660 parts per day.

More importantly, while meeting the stringent quality requirements for Thixomolding automotive components, the machine maintains a stable and controllable cycle time throughout production — enabling rapid mass-production ramp-up and full-capacity output from the very beginning.

Behind this performance is the machine’s strong technical foundation:

1、Turbo high-speed injection system: The large-diameter high-speed servo valve controls the oil inlet valve opening with a 12ms rapid response time. The injection piston acceleration can reach up to 20G, paired with an ultra-large capacity accumulator, delivering powerful and efficient injection performance.

2、Eco energy-efficient melting technology: Utilizing European-standard special steel combined with infrared heating technology and high-torque servo drive, this technology achieves highly efficient and energy-saving melting with an extended service life.

3、High injection pressure and large shot capacity: With injection pressure up to 85 MPa and a theoretical maximum injection rate of 101,788 cm³/s (4 m/s), the machine enables fast and stable cavity filling for Thixomolding under high pressure, ensuring both molding efficiency and part density.

True productivity requires both efficiency and stability. In the SERES–Boao Magnesium Thixomolding automotive component project, YIZUMI demonstrates through sustained full-capacity operation that Chinese-made Thixomolding equipment is fully capable of supporting large-scale production for world-class manufacturing projects.

While equipment performance defines production capability, service support is what ensures successful mass production.For the SERES–Boao Magnesium project, what mattered is not simply one machine, but a complete process support system capable of supporting the entire production ramp-up. This is exactly where Yi+ "Thixomolding On-Site Steward Service" creates value.

From the moment the machine arrived on site, the YIZUMI technical team worked closely alongside the customer as an on-site technical partner, providing full-process support across four key areas:

1、On-site production support: From mold trials and machine commissioning to process optimization, YIZUMI engineers worked alongside the customer throughout the entire ramp-up process.

2、Hands-on technical training: Practical guidance on machine operation and semi-solid molding processes helped the customer team quickly build independent production capability.

3、Remote expert support: YIZUMI’s material and process specialists provided real-time remote support for rapid troubleshooting and technical optimization.

4、Standardized delivery package: Trial production reports, process parameter databases, and Thixomolding guidelines were provided to help establish a repeatable mass-production model.

This integrated service model supports the project throughout the entire production process, while systematically transferring YIZUMI’s process know-how in Thixomolding to the customer.For pioneers such as Boao Magnesium, it helped reduce technical risks and shorten the path to mass production, enabling a faster and smoother production ramp-up.

Lightweight design plays a critical role in extending EV range and improving energy efficiency. Compared with conventional steel or aluminum solutions, the Thixomolding component now in mass production achieves significant weight reduction.

The casting weighs just 6.6 kg — about 6 kg lighter than a traditional steel counterpart. More importantly, the lighter structure also contributes to improved body rigidity and overall vehicle safety.

The YIZUMI UN3200MGⅡ·Plus delivers high yield rates, low energy consumption, and stable high-utilization performance, helping customers achieve real cost advantages in mass production.

Compared with conventional magnesium high-pressure die casting, its semi-solid molding process reduces energy consumption by 0.28 kWh/kg, a reduction of 33.7%. Even under the strict temperature requirements of semi-solid molding, the machine maintains efficient and stable long-term operation — supporting the industry’s growing focus on lower costs and higher efficiency.

Thixomolding technology shows strong potential for applications including large hollow EV structural parts, door inner panels, battery housings, and seat frames. With the mass production launch of the SERES–Boao Magnesium project, YIZUMI has demonstrated end-to-end capabilities spanning machine performance, process stability, and on-site production support.

For OEMs and automotive suppliers focused on vehicle lightweighting, this integrated “equipment + process + service” solution offers a faster path to mass production, lower operational risk, and a more predictable return on investment.

The future of lightweight mobility is taking shape through stable, scalable mass production. With the UN3200MGⅡ·Plus, YIZUMI has demonstrated the reliability and advanced capabilities of Chinese-made equipment through sustained full-capacity operation. Meanwhile, Yi+ "Thixomolding On-Site Steward Service" is accelerating the industrialization of next-generation Thixomolding technologies.
