- On the afternoon of January 23rd, 2026, Ms. Daphne Zhang, the Consultant & Senior Product Manager of Asian Metal, visited Shanxi Zhenxin Magnesium Co., Ltd. She engaged in in-depth discussions with General Manager Mr. Xiaolong Liu and Sales Director Mr. Xiaobin Wang on application directions related to semi-solid die-casting of magnesium products. In 2026, the driving force behind the magnesium industry's development is shifting from the short-term benefits of "price differential substitution" to a new stage of "performance breakthrough," anchored by advanced manufacturing technologies like "semi-solid die-casting." While the magnesium-aluminum price gap acts as a catalyst for market penetration, semi-solid die-casting technology represents a key process revolution that unlocks the ultimate performance of magnesium alloys—combining lightweight, toughness, and low carbon—and overcomes their forming challenges. This technology enables the more stable and precise manufacturing of complex thin-walled components, thereby truly opening doors to demanding fields such as new energy vehicle integrated die-casting and high-end 3C electronics, where material and process requirements are stringent. The core competitiveness of enterprises will be reflected in their ability to leverage control over upstream resources, deeply integrate with downstream applications, and translate the inherent advantages of magnesium into irreplaceable performance benefits and carbon reduction value for end products through process innovation, thus securing a defining position in the industrial value chain.
