Breaking the 350°C High-Temperature Barrier: The Technological Innovation Journey of AODE Magnesium Alloy Semi-Solid Die Casting Temperature Control Solution

Solution for semi-solid die casting of magnesium alloys

Magnesium alloy semi-solid injection molding technology

In the high-end manufacturing fields such as the slim design of laptop keyboards, the high-strength requirements of mobile phone substrates, and the precise molding of automotive screen panels, the semi-solid injection molding technology of magnesium alloys is reshaping industry standards with its unique material advantages.

However, the high reactivity of magnesium metal poses a significant challenge in temperature control, which has long been a key bottleneck restricting the development of the industry. AODE responded to the industry's pain points through technological breakthroughs. Its independently developed 320℃ high-temperature oil temperature machine solution has built a safety and efficiency-balanced temperature control defense line for industry leaders such as Company A.

Industry pain points

The trade-off between safety and accuracy under high temperatures

Due to the high reactivity of magnesium metal, magnesium alloys are flammable and explosive. Therefore, during the forming process, temperature control is extremely strict to ensure a continuous and stable mold temperature, enabling semi-solid injection molding production with high safety and high yield. Especially when making some thin-walled parts, the required mold temperature is relatively high.

When Company A was applying this technology, the required temperature for the mold temperature machine was extremely high, approximately at 300℃, even reaching 320℃. This placed very high demands on the performance of the mold temperature machine. The main difficulty lies in the fact that under such high temperatures, there are high requirements for the safety and stability of the equipment's usage.

Company A previously used equipment from abroad for mold temperature control. Compared to the foreign equipment, the AODE mold temperature control machine has the advantages of high market share, low price, short delivery time and good after-sales service. Therefore, Company A reached a cooperation agreement with AODE.

Technical breakthrough

Technical innovation of the high-temperature oil temperature machine

As a leading brand in the die-casting industry, AODE has leveraged its 21-year experience in developing ultra-high-temperature heat carrier equipment to meet the technical requirements for magnesium alloy semi-solid forming (higher temperatures, greater heat absorption, higher heating power of the mold temperature machine, higher power of the pump motor, and no contact with water). It has thus developed a complete temperature control system matrix, including magnesium alloy-specific mold temperature machines, oil-cooled point chillers, and low-temperature oil-cooled cooling stations (mold cooling systems), etc. Among them, the technological breakthrough of the high-temperature oil temperature machine is particularly crucial.

This time, AODE provided A Company with a 320℃ high-temperature oil temperature machine. Through the mold thermal balance technology, the rheological behavior of the semi-solid slurry was improved, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the products. At the same time, it can prevent the mold temperature from being too low, which would inhibit the rapid solidification of the slurry surface and hinder filling, and also prevent the mold temperature from being too high, which would reduce the demolding time and improve production efficiency.

AODE 320℃ High Temperature Oil Temperature Machine

Exceeding the extremely high temperature limit

The temperature range for the mold temperature controllers specifically used in the traditional die-casting industry is generally within 300℃. However, the oil temperature controller specially designed for magnesium alloy die-casting by AODE has a maximum operating temperature of up to 350℃.

High security guarantee

The technical specification of the equipment allowing for a maximum operating temperature of 350℃ is not merely an increase in parameters; it is based on a complete safety system. AODE relies on the B-level boiler manufacturing qualification and develops dedicated ultra-high-temperature heat transfer media. From the production of the heat source to the circulation of the medium, it strictly follows the "Safety Technical Regulations for Organic Heat Carrier Boilers". The application of magnetic drive pumps completely eliminates the oil leakage of traditional mechanical seals.

Water-free cooling innovation

The cooling capacity of traditional die-casting oil temperature machines is relatively small, only capable of maintaining a certain mold temperature. It does not have a high cooling capacity. However, the particularity of magnesium alloy die-casting determines the special requirements for the medium. Therefore, the design has enhanced the cooling capacity of the oil temperature machine, eliminating the need for water cooling and perfectly addressing the limitations of the traditional cooling methods.

Value Reconfiguration

From Equipment Supplier to Technical Partner

The practical cooperation with Company A has demonstrated that the value of the AODE solution goes far beyond the scope of a single device: on the cost front, it reduces the price by 30% compared to imported equipment and shortens the delivery time; on the operation and maintenance side, the rapid response service system has eliminated the worries of A Company regarding high-temperature equipment; on the technical front, through the optimization of mold thermal balance, the product yield rate of Company A has increased by 3%.

The more profound significance lies in that this plan has redefined the temperature control standards for magnesium alloys: the temperature breakthrough from 300°C to 350°C is not just a numerical increase, but also an innovation in industry perception - through the cross-border integration of material science, fluid mechanics and intelligent control, high temperatures are no longer a production obstacle but a technical lever for enhancing product performance.
