Technical Information - Zinc Alloys (Zamak)


Zinc Die Casting


Zinc is the easiest alloy to cast, its very common in the automobile industry. It has high impact strength and is very economical due to the fact thousands in some cases millions of identical zinc parts can be produced before new tooling is required. Zinc also has excellent physical, mechanical properties and finishing characteristics. With the exception of brass, Zinc alloys has the highest impact strength of other die casting alloys.

 

 

  Benefits of Zinc Die Castings


- Thousands in some cases millions of identical zinc parts can be products

   before new tooling is required.

- High Impact Strength

- Economical for small parts

- Promotes long die life.

- Easily Plated or Finished with minimal surface preparation

- Produces multi-cavity, complex shapes within closer tolerances than many

  other production processes

- High Ductility
