Yizumi Kicks Off The Gigacasting Era For Magnesium Thixomolding
Yizumi Kicks Off The Gigacasting Era For Magnesium Thixomolding
On July 16, 2025, Yizumi launched its UN6600MGII, a 6,600-ton magnesium Thixomolding machine, initiating a "Gigacasting" era for the technology. This machine addresses the significant safety, environmental, and efficiency problems of traditional die casting.
Key advancements include:
Increased Capacity: A twin-screw design doubles the melting capacity and increases the maximum shot weight from 15kg to 38kg.
Enhanced Safety: The Thixomolding process melts magnesium in a sealed barrel, isolated from oxygen, and uses much smaller volumes of semi-molten material compared to traditional methods.
Improved Quality: Higher injection pressure ensures denser large parts and minimizes porosity.
Greater Efficiency: Integration of a multi-point hot runner system cuts casting waste by 30% and creates more uniform, higher-quality products.

Volvo EX60: When an EV Finally Beats Gas Cars
Volvo EX60: When an EV Finally Beats Gas Cars
Many people still ask: “Will the battery last?” or “Does it take too long to charge?” The new Volvo EX60 is here to prove that those worries are a thing of the past.
Here is why this car is a total game-changer:
1. The "Single-Piece" Build (Mega Casting)
1. The "Single-Piece" Build (Mega Casting)
Imagine building a car like a Lego set. Usually, it takes hundreds of small parts. Volvo is now using Mega Casting—essentially "baking" a huge part of the car's frame from a single piece of aluminum.
The Benefit: It’s much lighter, significantly stronger, and uses less energy to move.
Bonus: With Cell-to-Body technology, the battery is part of the floor itself. This creates more legroom and makes the car feel incredibly stable on the road.
2. 10 Minutes of Charging = 340 km

The "charging wait" is over. Thanks to a high-speed 800-volt system:
Massive Range: One full charge gets you 810 km. You could drive from Bangkok to Chiang Mai comfortably without a single charging stop.
Ultra-Fast: A quick 10-minute coffee break adds 340 km of range. That’s about as fast as filling up a gas tank!

This car isn't just a machine; it’s a supercomputer on wheels.
Gets Smarter Every Day: Like your smartphone, it updates itself over the air (OTA). It improves its own battery life and safety features while you sleep.
Personalized Safety: The car’s AI senses who is inside and adjusts safety systems (like seatbelts) in real-time based on your size and the situation.
4. Built to Slice Through Air (Aerodynamics)

The EX60 is shaped like an Olympic runner—lean and efficient.
The Secret: It has a "Drag Coefficient" of just 0.26 and smart front shutters that open and close automatically to reduce wind resistance.
The Result: Less wind drag means the car goes much further without needing a massive, heavy battery.
------
The Volvo EX60 isn’t just another electric SUV. It’s a tech powerhouse designed to outperform gas cars in every single category—from distance to convenience.
