Replacing a cracked Tesla Model Y Gigacasting costs £2,167 less than repairing a traditional Model 3 steel subframe - here's why 💡

The biggest objection to Gigacasting has always been repairability. If the rear rails, shock towers, and floor are one piece, a rear-end collision should mean the entire floor needs replacing.

Labor to strip the interior, battery, and suspension would cost tens of thousands. Total loss. Write-off.

That was the assumption. Thatcham Research, the UK's automotive risk intelligence center, spent two years testing it.

At 15 km/h, simulating a common urban fender-bender, the Model Y's sacrificial crash cans absorbed all the energy. The Gigacasting itself sustained no structural damage.

At 25 km/h, the impact bypassed the crash cans and cracked the casting. Full replacement required.

The surprise: the replacement casting was priced at just £716. The total repair bill was comparable to, and in some cases cheaper than, repairing a complex multi-material steel structure.

The direct comparison was definitive. Partial replacements on the Model Y were £2,167 cheaper than equivalent repairs on the Model 3, which uses a traditional steel subframe.

The casting that was supposed to be "unrepairable" turned out to be the more economical option.

The "total loss" fear is not supported by the data.

Magnesium Thixomolding, the perfect process for the lightest structural material 🪶

In short, Magnesium Thixomolding is a semi-solid forming process for Magnesium alloy parts.

Magnesium chips are fed from a hopper into the end of a cylindrical barrel containing a revolving screw.
By rotating, the screw moves the Magnesium chips forward while heater bands wrapped around the barrel warm them up to a semi-solid state slurry.

Initially, the solid globs in the slurry are angular, but the rotating screw causes them to collide and rub together, eroding them into uniform spherical particles, improving fluidity in the slurry.
Finally, in traditional Thixomolding machines, the screw acts as a piston and injects the slurry into the die.

Thixomolding has several advantages over die casting

Lower operating Temperature reduces shrinkage.
Shrinkage is the metal contracting as it cools inside the die after injection. Since the metal is injected at lower temperature, it doesn’t have to cool down as much as in traditional die casting resulting in lower contraction.

The Laminar Flow of the slurry decreases porosity.
In die casting the fully molten metal is so flowable that its motion results in turbulent flows that traps air and create small vacuums which results in porosity, “damaging” the overall quality of the material by degrading mechanical properties.

In thixomolding, the viscous semi solid slurry creates a laminar flow in which particles move in parallel layers moving in the same direction in a smooth continuous stream, essentially decreasing porosity and its resulting problems.

As a result, Quality for Thixomolded Products is much higher than in High Pressure Die Casting and almost comparable with Forging but with the advantage of being a much faster and economical high-volume process.

Thixomolding process also brings many more cost savings

Both the lower temperature difference between the die and the injected material, the slower flow of the slurry and the properties of Magnesium alloys leads to less Abrasion to the die, contributing to increase the die life from 100,000 thousands shots to 250,000 shots.

The heating of the metal occurs completely inside the cylinder and the material is never heated above the melting temperature. This decreases energy consumption by 50%.

If Thixomolding is so good why isn't it more widespread?
