Manufacturing Advantages

The advantages of zinc die casting alloys allow us to provide innovative, lighter weight, longer-lasting, and more cost-effective products in several key areas.  These benefits often exceed those of cast aluminum, plastics, bronze, and most cast irons.

Producing a better part

Our engineering experts can help you with picking the right alloy for your application.  Depending on your requirements of strength, surface finish, design flexibility, or if you just want a greener solution, we are ready to help you take your part to the next level.

Zinc recycle

Zinc alloys are tough and have high fluidity when the alloy is molten. This produces a precise and resilient casting with greater impact resistance and rigidity than its plastic and aluminum counterparts.

 Zinc Die Casting

The surface of a zinc casting allows for great adhesion of almost any finish to its substrate. Powder coating and plating finishes can provide a decorative or functional requirement to your part.  These finishes provide great characteristics for visual aesthetics, corrosion resistance, or increased durability.

With excellent bearing and wear properties, the variety of zinc alloys allows surfaces to act as bushings for structures in motion.   In addition, zinc can be formed to join materials and thus, eliminating the need for additional fasteners.   These zinc characteristics allow for a better part design than we could with other materials.

Zinc is 100% recyclable. All byproducts of the casting process can be re-melted and cast again without degradation, unlike the “regrind” of various plastic materials. Zinc has a melting point of about 800° F., however, aluminum requires 1200° F.  Die-casting aluminum requires extra heat, which requires more fuel in the production process. Therefore, zinc has a smaller carbon footprint than aluminum, making it the greener option.
