Zinc Alloy Die-Casting Parts

Zinc die castings are used to produce various parts and components in many types of industrial applications. The mechanical properties of zinc alloy die castings at room temperature are better than those of gray iron, brass and aluminum sand castings, especially in terms of toughness and impact strength. They are stronger, tougher and more dimensionally stable than injection molded plastics. Reduced cost and improved performance make it an ideal substitute for iron, copper, aluminum alloy or plastic parts.

Advantages of zinc alloy die casting
1. Improved casting properties – due to its fluidity, zinc die castings can be made thinner, more complex and more complex, thus eliminating the need for secondary processing that usually must be done with aluminum and magnesium alloys.
2. Shorten the cycle time – due to the hot-chamber casting process for zinc, the output is about 4 to 5 pieces per minute. Compared with the aluminum cold chamber die casting process (outputting 2 to 3 sheets per minute), it can be determined that zinc can increase the total savings due to the shortened cycle time.
3. Extend the life of the mold – due to the low melting temperature of zinc, the life of the mold of zinc parts can be 10 times longer than that of aluminum alloy castings, and about 5 times longer than that of magnesium molds.
4. Ideal mechanical quality – zinc alloy is stronger than other similar metals and does not require secondary processing. This quality saves the total cost of each part.
