MAGAL

The aims of the FAST 3D-MAGAL project are to master the new thixomolding technology for magnesium and select a single technology for processing aluminum.

Thixomolding is working metals in a semisolid state comparable to that of butter. This innovative technique saves subsequent machining time.

The project also intends to set up a company that will use these new technologies in order to conquer new European markets.

The result?

The project has led to improvements in the aluminum rheocasting process (in the industrialization phase) and mastery of magnesium thixomolding processes.
