Proposed is an electromagnetic vibration stirring device of semi-solid high pressure casting equipment. The electromagnetic vibration stirring device includes: a ring-shaped casing including an inner wall into which a sleeve is inserted and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall; and a magnetic field generating unit located between the inner wall and the outer wall of the casing, and including a plurality of electromagnets radially arranged at equal intervals around the sleeve in a circumferential direction of the sleeve, each of the electromagnets including a core and a coil surrounding the core. The magnetic field generating unit generates a magnetic field by applying a current to the electromagnets in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and each portion of a semi-solid molten metal is sequentially vibrated by the magnetic field along the circumferential direction of the sleeve, thereby controlling a microstructure of the molten metal.

A thixomolding material includes: a metal body containing magnesium(Mg) as a primary component; a plurality of coating particles provided at a front surface of the metal body and having an average particle diameter equal to or less than 100 μm, the plurality of coating particles being made of an inorganic material differing from the metal body; and an interposed particle interposed between the metal body and the coating particles and having an average particle diameter smaller than the coating particle, the interposed particle being made of an inorganic oxide.

A number of variations may include at least one mold portion that may define a first cavity, a circular gating system, and at least one sprue. The circular gating system may surround the first cavity and define a continuous in-gate from the circular gating to the first cavity. The at least one sprue and at least one vent may be in fluid communication with the circular gating system and the first cavity.

A die casting machine includes a clamping device 7 which opens and closes and clamps a pair of die halves, an injection apparatus which performs injection to the pair of die halves by making a plunger move forward in a sleeve communicated with a space between the pair of die halves, and a control device which controls the clamping device and injection apparatus. The control device includes an injection control part and press-use clamping control part. The injection control part controls the injection apparatus so as to start the injection in a state where the pair of die halves face each other through a gap. The press-use clamping control part controls the clamping device so that the die contact and clamping are carried out after the start of injection. Further, the injection control part performs control for decelerating the plunger before the plunger stops.
