Zinc Die Casting

• High strength and hardness
• Excellent electrical conductivity
• High thermal conductivity
• Low cost raw material
• High dimensional accuracy and stability
• Excellent thin wall capability
• Ability to cold form, which eases joining
• High quality finishing characteristics
• Outstanding corrosion resistance
• Full recyclability

Zincs high strength and hardness lends itself to many solutions and its the ideal alternative to machined, pressed, stamped, and fabricated components.

Applications for Zinc:

• Zamak 2: Zinc Alloy 2, also known as Zamak 2 (ASTM AC43A), is the highest strength and hardness of the Zamak family. 
• Zamak 3: Zamak 3 (ASTM AG40A), or Zinc Alloy 3, is the most widely used zinc alloy and is usually the first choice when considering zinc for die casting for a number of reasons.
• Zamak 5: Zamak 5 (ASTM AC41A) or Zinc Alloy 5, is the most widely used zinc alloy in Europe.
• Zamak 7: Zamak 7 (ASTM AG40B), or Zinc Alloy 7, is a modification of Zamak 3. It is a high-purity alloy containing lower magnesium content and has a tighter impurities specification. This results in improved casting fluidity, ductility and surface finish.
