EUROMAG SA employs hot chamber magnesium die casting technology in contrast to the much more common cold chamber method. It enables a significant shortening of the cycle time, reduction of waste and offers a high level of process stability and process efficiency.

Process efficiency: material yield in hot chamber technology is significantly improved over that of cold chamber technology. With hot chamber technology the molten metal temperature is maintained to the die entrance resulting in injection pressures that are less than half that required in cold chamber technology. This allows the employment of lower mould closing forces and consequently smaller machinery, which in turn results in a reduction of the cycle time.

Process stability: employment of a two-furnace system results in a stable casting temperature and thus controlled repetitiveness of the process and improved casting quality.

Perfect mechanical properties of the castings: the liquid metal injection characteristics inherent in hot chamber technology reduces incidence of defects found in the casting structure. With lower levels of porosity and flow defects, mechanical properties of the castings are improved, secondary processing becomes easier, and the process efficiency is enhanced.
