【SMM Magnesium Brief】Recently, Chenzhi (Chongqing) Lightweight Technology Co., Ltd. and Avatr Technology (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. signed the "Magnesium Alloy Product Joint Development Agreement" in Chongqing, focusing on collaborative R&D for eight magnesium alloy products, including CCB and tailgate. Chenzhi Lightweight is equipped with 5,000-ton semi-solid die-casting equipment and possesses core technological advantages in semi-solid magnesium alloy forming and integrated die-casting. Currently, the jointly developed magnesium alloy tailgate has successfully completed production, achieving phased results. Moving forward, the two parties will prioritize joint research on core structural components such as magnesium alloy CCB and rear floor panels, driving the mass production of more high-performance magnesium alloy parts. As collaboration deepens, the application of magnesium alloy in key structural components for new energy vehicles is expected to accelerate, with the production penetration rate of semi-solid forming and integrated die-casting technologies likely to further increase.
