ZINC – THE METAL OF CHOICE IN DIE CASTING. Using zinc as a material in die casting of various metal parts is a popular practice in the manufacturing industry. A great number of uses have been found for die casting parts made of zinc in the business and industrial sectors. Parts of business machines, sports equipment, automotive accessories, and electronics components are often manufactured using die casting processes. The zinc die casting process is often used in the manufacture of these parts.
There are several kinds of dies used in the zinc die casting process. Since zinc is a versatile metal, it is used in simple die cast shapes, in complex die cast shapes, and everything in between. There are several kinds of die construction that can be used in the zinc die casting process. These are the single-cavity die, they multiple cavity die, the unit die, and the combination die. The single-cavity die produces a single component of zinc die casting parts. The multiple-cavity die produces several pieces of the same type of zinc die casting part. The unit die produces several parts at one time already put together, and the combination die produces several different parts for later assembly.
These kinds of dies are used in both hot-chamber machines and cold-chamber machines. Whatever process is used in manufacturing zinc die casting parts, it always results in parts that are durable and strong. Zinc is known to be particularly reliable in terms of stability and strength for most industrial, automotive, or private usage. Popular applications of zinc die casting parts are sports equipment, automotive parts, telecommunications components, and electronic connectors among others.
