Magnesium - Making Lightweight Parts a Reality

MgNify - Use Magnesium to reduce part weight

Market Pressure for Lighter Parts

The global manufacturing industry is under more pressure than ever to to reduce product weight more than ever before.  Most engineers lean to plastics or aluminums - but have you considered MAGNESIUM?


Magnesium is 30% lighter than aluminum and twice the strength at the same thickness, while at the same time achieving cost parity with Aluminum. Magnesium has been used for years in automotive seat frames, housings, power tools, and laptops, it is not new it is just coming into the fold with the push for lower weight designs.


GTI will walk you through the process whether the end result is die casting, thixomolding, or machining.

Magnesium - Light as a feather

OEMs are making change

OEMs are choosing Magnesium to meet manufacturing challenges for components and assemblies. Magnesium has been used for years in automotive applications such as steering wheels, brackets, convertible top structural components, and seat frames, and is gaining significant momentum for other components.

Magnesium Heat Sink - a properly designed heat sink in magnesium performs similarly to aluminum and can be significantly lighter.

Magnesium’s mechanical properties are quite similar to Aluminum, allowing engineers to modify existing designs to achieve significant weight reductions and strengthening. GTI offers full technical design services to assist in-house engineering in part design and tool optimization.


There are three core manufacturing processes for Magnesium parts:  Thixomolding, Die Casting, or Machining.


We can help with all there.

Do Not Go It Alone

Magnesium thixomolding and die casting - GTI helps determine the best overall process for your magnesium parts

Outside of straight machining, magnesium offers two manufacturing options: High Pressure Die Casting and Thixomolding. Each process has its advantages, however which process to design for depends on a variety of technical, commercial, and program factors.


GTI advises our clients on which process is the most suitable for each part, including supply chain.

GTI works with the entire program team to evaluate magnesium options and minimize risk in the design process and in the supply chain.


On average 75% of an engineered component’s cost is incurred during the early phases of design.    GTI Manufacturing works closely with its client’s program management, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, and procurement staff. We provide Advanced Manufacturing Engineering, Design Guidance, Supply Chain Development and Full Life Cycle management.


Our comprehensive Technical and Commercial Analysis provides our partners with the lowest costs and highest yielding components.


Let us help you fine tune the remaining 25% and bring you parts with success.

Magnesium heat sink - Magnesium is an alternative to aluminum to reduce weight and provide cooling

Magnesium's overall thermal characteristics are comparable to Aluminum.


GTI has produced hundreds of heat sinks in Magnesium and Aluminum and we can help with mechanical and thermal optimization to optimize the manufacturing process.


Great thermal dissipation + lower  weight = WIN
