Die Casting Zinc Parts Alloys. Die casting zinc alloys offer castability, broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties, and finishing characteristics. The advantages of utilizing zinc alloys include thin walls, close dimensional tolerances, and variation in section design. Compared to others, die casting zinc alloys have higher strength components.
The die casting tooling maintenance is reduced and the die life is lengthened because of the lower temperatures under which zinc alloy is cast. There are several companies that manufacture the complete range of die casting zinc alloys. One of them is the Eastern Alloys.
Zinc Die Casting Alloys have high strength and hardness, which makes them ideal alternatives for machined, pressed, stamped and fabricated items. Normally cast alloy are non-ferrous and there is a large number available with a wide range of physical and mechanical properties covering almost every conceivable application a designer might require. Die casting zinc alloys are among the most widely used because of the low melting point. Usually low melting point alloys are cast in a hot chamber machines while the intermediate and high melting alloys are cast in a cold chamber machines.
One of the fastest and most cost-effective methods for producing a wide range of components is through die casting. The major benefit from this process can be achieved if the designers were able to collaborate with the die caster at an early stage of the product development and design. In order to help resolve issues that affect the tooling and production during the design phase it is best to consult the die caster at the earliest possible time.
