The future is light. The future is magnesium.
Magnesium is moving from niche to mainstream material for structural parts. As automotive manufacturers seek to develop lighter, more efficient and increasingly electrified vehicles, demand for magnesium castings is growing rapidly.
Want to know 3 quick facts?
Magnesium is up to 35% lighter and 45%+ cheaper than aluminum for equivalent-volume components.
Magnesium content in next-generation vehicles is expected to increase significantly, with China's automotive roadmap targeting around 45kg of magnesium alloy per vehicle by 2030
By 2030, demand from the global automotive market for die-cast magnesium alloy parts will reach 1.3 million tons.
Why equipment ‘made for magnesium’ is important
The heightened reactivity of magnesium alloys places different demands on melting, holding and dosing equipment than traditional aluminum operations. Maintaining melt quality, controlling oxidation and achieving consistent, repeatable production requires technologies specifically engineered for the material.
StrikoMgMat was developed to meet this challenge.
What is StrikoMgMat?
StrikoMgMat is a complete furnace solution for magnesium die casting. Instead of treating melting, holding and dosing as separate processes, StrikoMgMat brings them together within a single, highly efficient unit.
The result is a complete solution that supports stable operation from raw material charging through to precise delivery of molten magnesium at the die casting machine. From ingot to shot, StrikoMgMat helps protect melt quality, productivity and profitability at every stage.

What are the main benefits of using StrikoMgMat?
Designed around your production requirements
No two magnesium die casting operations are the same. Production volumes, machine layouts and throughput requirements can vary significantly from one application to the next.
That's why StrikoMgMat is available in both single-chamber and dual-chamber configurations, allowing foundries to select the solution that best matches their operational requirements.
Single-chamber system
Melting, holding and dosing are performed within a single furnace, providing a compact and efficient solution for lower-volume magnesium production.
Ideal for:
- Melting capacities below 400 kg/h
- Compact production environments
Dual-chamber system
Melting takes place in a dedicated melting furnace, with molten metal transferred to a separate holding and dosing furnace. This configuration supports higher throughput while maintaining stable melt conditions.
Ideal for:
- Melting capacities above 400 kg/h
- Higher-volume production environments
Ready to scale your magnesium casting process with confidence?
Whether you're evaluating your first magnesium die casting project or planning future production capacity, StrikoMgMat provides the stability, precision and flexibility needed to support long-term growth.
