Abstract Scope |
The four semisolid metal casting processes thixomolding, thixocasting, rheocasting and stress induced melt activation are very complex and highly maintenance intensive. The cold chamber die-casting, the hot chamber die-casting did not fulfill end user expectations for quality, energy savings, and environmental sustainability.
We dedicated all our working life to solve two problems: production of high-integrity net-shape light metal parts, while reducing porosities in moldings (castings). We are fully committed to improving the non-sustainable current approach of molding - inspecting - separating and re-melting. MAXImolding Team invented and patented a new vertically oriented, environmentally friendly Semi-Solid Metal Injection Molding Machine (SSM-IMM). The Molding processing parameters are optimized without a human operator by closing a real-time x-ray feedback control loop based on parts quality indicators and proper AI algorithms. This is an intrinsically safe, energy and material efficient, environmentally sound magnesium-molding self-learning smart factory with no emissions outside of factory parameters limit. |
