In recent years, thixomolding technology has imparted thriving vigor to the magnesium alloy industry. This paper reviews the development and application prospects of thixomolding technology for magnesium alloys. Firstly, the principle and distinctive advantages of thyroiodin process for magnesium alloys are described in detail. Subsequently, the historical development of magnesium thixomolding machines is summarized, highlighting that China is gradually be coming an innovation leader in the field of large-scale equipment teehnology. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the latest advancements in research on microstructure and properties of magnesium materials utilizing thixomolding technology, and points out that this technology can fully exploit the performance potential of magnesium alloy and effectively reduce casting defects. Beyond the commonly used Mg-Al system, novel semi-solid magnesium alloys are also being researched and developed. Concurrently, magnesium matrix composites by thixomolding have garnered attention due to short process and high performance. Thixomolding technology for magnesium alloys has been applied in consumer electronics, transportation tools, etc., and is gradually expanded to the production of large structural parts, especially demonstrating strong application potential in the field of new energy vehicles.
