Magnesium Molding Technique Expands Options

摘要

Sodick Plustech, Yoko-hama, Japan, has launched a novel magne-sium injection molding machine utilizing an injection mechanism that differs radically from existing thioxtropic and hot chamber presses. The machine, monikered "Mg-Plus," accepts rods of magnesium alloy, as opposed to pellets, that form an in-situ plunger.
