Thixomolding{reg_sign} is a racial new process which merges the technologies of die-casting and plastic injection molding for the net shape molding of magnesium based alloys. Properties of Thixomolded{reg_sign} magnesium alloys are discussed and compared with those of traditional die casting. Magnesium alloys are of great interest to automobile manufacturers because of the potential weight savings and corresponding energy savings due to increased fuel economy. For this reason, one of the first target markets for Thixomolded{reg_sign} products is the automotive industry. The use of Thixomolding{reg_sign} in the production of an automobile part is examined.
