TOMRA Recycling has expanded the application of its AUTOSORT™ PULSE Dynamic LIBS sorting system beyond aluminium alloy separation to include stainless steel, heavy metals, magnesium and incinerator bottom ash (IBA). The system can sort 6xxx aluminium alloys, stainless steel grades such as 304 and 316, as well as copper, brass and zinc, enabling recyclers to process multiple material streams with one platform while improving recovery efficiency and operational flexibility.

[SMM Magnesium Express]Recently, Shanghai FANUC collaborated with Fengyang Ailse Light Alloy Precision Forming Co., Ltd. to develop a customized integrated die-casting automation solution for magnesium alloy, successfully overcoming the bottleneck in large-scale production. This solution covers the entire process, including high-temperature part removal and workpiece handling, and is suitable for producing various magnesium alloy components such as electric vehicle frames and new energy vehicle battery housings. The production line has been operating continuously and stably for over half a year, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency. With ongoing advancements in die-casting automation, the large-scale application of magnesium alloy in the new energy vehicle and electric two-wheeler sectors is expected to accelerate further.

[SMM Magnesium Express]Recently, according to Da Jiang News, the Linchuan Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, in collaboration with financial peers in the jurisdiction, successfully issued the first syndicated loan for the magnesium-based new materials industrial park in Fuzhou City, with a credit amount of 550 million yuan. This loan will be used to support the park's infrastructure construction and corporate capacity expansion, accelerate the aggregation of upstream and downstream supporting industrial projects, and provide financial backing for the Linchuan magnesium-based industry's transition from "point breakthrough" to "chain rise.".

[Magnesium Prices Hit Bottom and Stabilize; Supply-Demand Under Pressure, Consolidating] Today, the quotation for 99.90% magnesium ingot in the main production area was 15,750-15,800 yuan/mt, up from the previous working day.

[SMM Magnesium Express]Recently, the "Research and Industrialization of High-Performance Dissolvable Magnesium Alloys for Shale Gas Development" project by Shandong Huashengrong Magnesium Technology Co., Ltd. was successfully selected for the 2026 Shandong Provincial Major Scientific and Technological Innovation Project, receiving 8.57 million yuan in provincial scientific funding. Focusing on breakthroughs in key materials for oil and gas extraction, this project ranks among the highest-level scientific initiatives in Shandong Province. With continuous advancements in dissolvable magnesium alloy technology, its application prospects in energy sectors such as shale gas development are expected to expand further, while the company's independent innovation capabilities will accelerate

[SMM Magnesium Express]Recently, it was reported that Shanxi Kelite Precision Casting Technology Co., Ltd. plans to officially commence production of its light alloy integrated die-casting project in mid-July. With a total investment of 100 million yuan, the project can produce 8 million lightweight robotic precision structural components annually, primarily serving sectors such as meal-delivery robots, household service robots, and new energy vehicles. Leveraging Shanxi's magnesium ore resource advantages, the company has successfully transformed from a traditional pipe-casting enterprise into a high-end precision manufacturing entity. It has introduced cold high-pressure die-casting core technologies and established a provincial-level doctoral entrepreneurship station in collaboration with North University of China. With the project's launch, the large-scale application of magnesium alloy in intelligent robotics and new energy vehicles is expected to deepen further, accelerating the transition of traditional casting enterprises toward high-end magnesium alloy manufacturing.
