The Advantages of Die Casting Using Zinc
The concept of die casting is basically the process of forcing molten metal into mold cavities using high pressure. Most of the die casting done in the market are made from metals that are non-ferrous including but not limited to zinc. However, it is also possible to do die casting with the use of ferrous metals, but this is seldom done. Other non-ferrous metals that are used for die casting are copper, lead, tin, etc. Zinc is a popular metal for die casting due mainly to the zinc alloy’s favorable characteristics and advantages over other materials and processes.
One advantage of zinc die casting is the metal’s high strength and its hardness. Zinc die castings are famous for their great impact strength compared to other materials. It may not be stronger than steel but stronger than “steel weldment”. Another preferred advantage of zinc die casting is its castability feature. This is due to the fact that zinc has a fluid nature that beats other metals. Likewise, zinc has a longer die life. In zinc die casting, the die life is 1 million shots before the need for replacement occurs. This is 10 times longer that what is found in other materials like aluminum die casting. The possibility of easier parts consolidation in zinc die casting due mainly to its higher fluidity makes it another advantageous feature of the metal. Lastly, zinc is not expensive compared o other metals and therefore the practical choice for many die caste. It is also readily available. More advantages can be found when die casting zinc. Online sites can provide the information readily.
