Zinc Die Casting and Its Potential for Use in Flight
Flight is an activity enjoyed by many the world over. From hot air balloons and blimps to airplanes and model airplanes, the world delights on defying gravity and sending humans (and non-humans) to the sky.
However, it is not an easy process as it looks. In order to take flight, objects bound for take-off must be fitted similar to that of a bird’s anatomy. A bird’s wings are made of hollow bones. In the realm of humans, this equates to the use of light but sturdy material to construct the frame of the airplane, airship, or space craft. One process of ensuring high quality materials is zinc die casting. Aerospace parts require relatively lightweight and strong materials which can withstand intense pressure and impact.
Zinc alloy, as a non-ferrous metal, can be melted and molded to a material that can be characterized as such. It is also a low-cost raw material. Owing to the expensive nature of the aeronautics industry, the use of zinc as a main element in the production of objects designed for flight might be an ideal concept.
Additionally, materials made of zinc are good conductors of electricity and heat. Since flight exposes objects to high stress and pressure, materials made of substandard elements may fail easily. But it has been proven that zinc is resistant to fatigue. If combined with another element to produce an alloy, the end product is proved to be stronger than aluminum and magnesium.
With zinc die casting, aerospace parts are guaranteed to be cheap but without sacrificing the characteristics required of their function.
