Tool life is expected to be better r than the aluminum permanent mold process due to the lower latent heat of fusion of magnesium alloys and the very low solubility of iron in magnesium.
The maximum heat of fusion obtained in the films was directly proportional to the crystallization temperature; larger heats of fusion occurred in films crystallized at higher temperatures.
Once the temperature of the solid loop was raised to the melting point, which is at 2,066F (1,130C), the temperature of the loop didn't increase because the energy was being used to satisfy the heat of fusion requirements to melt tire iron.
