Zinc Material Advantages. When it comes to die casting parts, zinc is the best material to use. Whether it is through hot-chamber machines or through cold-chamber machines, zinc is a versatile metal to use. Zinc metal material advantages in die casting parts are recognized by most industry players that is why it is the most widely used material. There is a wide variety of applications for zinc die casting metal parts, ranging from toys, to household implements, to recreational equipment, to business machines, to industrial and automotive parts.
There are certain zinc metal part material advantages that makes it appealing for a wide range of end-users. The most important of all zinc metal material advantages is its strength and durability. Zinc die casting parts are able to withstand high impact and a whole range of temperatures. Since metal zinc die casting parts can be manufactured in single units instead of in several pieces for assembly, the resulting part is able to capitalize on the strength of the material rather than on the strength of adhesion or joining.
Another advantage of using zinc in the die casting process is its cost-efficiency. The wide variety of shapes and sizes that can be made using zinc alloys in die casting makes it more efficient as it can produce metal parts in dies with multiple cavities. Zinc die casting processes can run high volumes, producing large quantities of identical parts. Furthermore, a single tool can last for a large number of runs of zinc die casting processes before it needs to be replaced. So, while the initial cost of producing the hardened tool steel dies may be on the upper side, the amount of output that a tool generates is more than enough to cover the tool production cost.
