The new process

Magnesium and Aluminium Gas Injection Technology

MAGIT is the new gas injection technology for creating completely new die casting applications such as power electronic housings with integrated cooling lines and other hollow magnesium and aluminium die-cast structures.

This technology involves the still liquid melt at the core of the component being displaced into an opening overflow cavity during the cooling phase.

Our

Services

Our philosophy encompasses a holistic support and consultation service from component development and die design and construction to the actual die casting process.

Our experienced engineers assist you in using our new MAGIT gas injection process and the associated plant technology successfully in high-pressure die casting – from the outset, through each development stage of your component, planning and commissioning to process optimising.

Plant technology

The new MAGIT plant technology consists of all components which, together, are responsible for successful implementation of a reproducible process:

  • Stand-alone system for connection to existing die casting cells
  • Effective compressor unit:
    Efficient gas compression to over 500 bar
  • Integrated hydraulic supply:
    Supplies die modules with up to 250 bar
  • Integrated accumulator modules:
    Providing two pressure levels for melt displacement
    and holding pressure
  • Real-time control:
    For reproducible gas injection within 5 ms
  • Number of cavities:
    Single or dual cavity plants are available

Component development

Gas-compatible component design

  • Functional integration (avoidance of friction stir welding or inserts)
  • Optimum duct dimensioning and course
  • Integration of gas brakes
  • Design of duct connection geometries (screw bosses, ribbing)

Symbol-Verfahrenstechnik

Simulation

Solidification and filling simulation

  • Casting layout with MAGMA software
  • Simulation of solidification phase, taking gas injection into consideration
  • Theoretical determination of duct wall thickness
  • Determination of cavity volume

Symbol-Verfahrenstechnik

Die concept

Creation of die concepts

  • Specification of ideal injector positions and overflows

Injector technology

MAGIT injector

The injector technology, which enables the reproducible introduction of gas to the interior of the die-cast component, is decisive for the success of this gas injection technology.

The injection process for the gas and, consequently, the quality of industrial-scale die-cast components can only be assured with the injectors appropriate for use with MAGIT.

Die modules

Die-adapted injection and overflow cavity modules

consisting of the following:

  • Connection plates with standardised hydraulic, cooling water, gas supply and sensor connections
  • Different injector and gate valve lengths adapted to suit die
  • Tool inserts for overflow and injection duct

Process optimizing

Process optimising of MAGIT process following commissioning and installation of new dies

  • Optimising of gas injection
  • Optimising of injector and gate valve opening and closing times
  • Adaptation of overflow volume
  • Optimising of clearing and holding pressure
