UNDERSTANDING THE KEY BENEFITS OF ZINC PARTS. As far as die casting parts are concerned, there is very little doubt that zinc is one of the best metals to use. Zinc is the easiest metal to cast as it is versatile in terms of temperature and high impact resistance. Zinc die casting parts are more durable and have a wider variety of applications than those made from other metal alloys like aluminum, magnesium, tin and lead. Die casting of parts is a manufacturing process that has been used for many years. What started as a process for the printing industry has now expanded its use in various industries including electronics, telecommunications, medicine, fiber optics, and recreation.
Anyone who does not understand the workings of die casting only has to look at the following zinc material advantages to understand why zinc is the preferred choice of material for most die casters and end-users in various industries:
1. Cost-effectiveness – zinc is very cost efficient since it can be used for a variety of parts and is usable for both hot-chamber machines and cold-chamber machines. It makes for faster production time since it can be used to make parts in multi-cavity dies. Whole parts made of several components can actually be produced in one tool die without need for further assembly at the end of the process using zinc.
2. Precision – the dimensions of the tool dies used in zinc die casting is not compromised through several runs. A great number of parts can be produced with high durability while maintaining close tolerances.
3. Durability – zinc is a strong material that can withstand extreme temperature and high impact that makes it last longer than most other materials. Zinc die casting parts can also carry a variety of finishes to make it more resistant to wear and tear especially if it is used as external parts like casings and plates.
