YIZUMI Hosts IMA Americas Fall Meeting to Shape Mg Future

On November 4th (local time),IMA Americas Committee Fall Meeting concludes at YIZUMI U.S. Ohio Factory. As the host, YIZUMI exchanges insights about key topics such as magnesium technology development, market expansion and sustainable applications, with excellent representatives of magnesium industry from American regions. Together, both parties explored future innovations of magnesium alloys in transportation, industrial manufacturing, and beyond.

01.「Into the Core, At the Forefront」

At the beginning of the meeting, YIZUMI invites participants to visit YIZUMI U.S. Ohio Factory. During the subsequent discussion session, participants engages in an in-depth exchange on the latest trends and process applications of magnesium alloy technology, with a particular focus on advanced forming techniques. These technologies enable the production of magnesium components with complex geometries, high density, and excellent mechanical properties, demonstrating significant advantages and a key development direction in current magnesium applications.

In addition, technology experts of YIZUMI U.S. make a comprehensive introduction about innovative breakthrough of equipment in precision control, operational stability, production efficiency and also show magnesium-alloy component samples with high-performance. Participants are so impressed by all that have an in-depth discussion with on-site engineers about process parameter optimization, mold design and practical questions during production.

The visit provides a clear demonstration of technologies, also a convergence of industry wisdom. Participants get deeply known that YIZUMI has leveraged our strong manufacturing capability and visionary technology strategy to create solid equipment foundation for magnesium-alloy large-scale and high-quality application. Besides, YIZUMI R&D achievements gain universal acclaim from IMA members.

02.「Wisdom in Fusion, Inspiration Resonance」

After factory visit, the event comes to formal committee meeting and topic discussions. Representatives first exchange key projects and activity update of magnesium industry in various regions, then make a pragmatic and constructive discussion about major trend and challenges especially for new technology exploration, cost efficiency and new application field.

Subsequently, the meeting enters in its key academic sharing sessions. IMA Americas Committee and YIZUMI are pleased to have a special presentation by Dr. Alan A. Luo, “Donald D. Glower Chair in Engineering at the Ohio State University and Director of the Advanced Casting Research Center (ACRC)”. Dr. Alan A. Luo first introduces the ACRC, one of the largest metal processing research consortia in North America, dedicated to metal casting, digital manufacturing, and new alloy development, including magnesium alloys.

He highlights ACRC’s collaborative research efforts between Ohio State University and the University of California, Irvine. More importantly, Dr. Alan A. Luo elaborates on the potential collaborations opportunities and models between ACRC and IMA members. He emphasizes that the close integration of manufacturing-academia-research can accelerate the growth of magnesium technologies across the America, inspiring the participants.

03.「Uniting for Innovation, Driving the Future」

The successful host of IMA Americas Committee Fall Meeting at YIZUMI U.S. Ohio Factory demonstrates YIZUMI’s technology accumulation and strategic foresight in magnesium-alloy forming equipment field, while highlighting our strong contribution to advancing this industry.

During the meeting, YIZUMI serves as a high-level exchange platform, promoting deep communication across manufacturing, academia and research. Participants gain profound understanding of magnesium alloy development path in American market through YIZUMI production visit, discussion about technological trend and professional speech. Thanks to the meeting, YIZUMI establishes closer connections with top research institutions such as ACRC and major enterprises in the industrial chain, laying a solid foundation for future technological collaboration and market expansion.

Looking ahead, YIZUMI will continue to deepen R&D investment in magnesium-alloy forming technologies, further enhancing product performance and solutions. Together with global partners, YIZUMI will drive the large-scale application of magnesium alloys in automotive lightweighting and industrial manufacturing.
