Material


The following table shows the principal physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of the by far most commonly used zinc alloy ZL 0410.
About 75% of global zinc use involve this alloy.

Why choose zinc alloys for die-casting?

- for functional and cost-effective products
- to save both time and money

 

Excellent mechanical values

Excellent dimensional accuracy (to 0.01 mm)

 

Excellent surface quality to avoid supplementary surface treatment

 

Thin-section technology for light high-tensile products

 

Minimum production costs for the finished product:

 

 

 

high production rate through hot-chamber die-casting

 

 

 

long mould life

 

 

 

low investment costs through simple production process

 

 

 

low costs value added processes for cast products

 

Low mounting costs

 

Flexible production: low, normal or high production runs possible

 

Particularly suitable for the following surface coatings:

 

 

 

chemical coating (chrome, phosphate, anodising)

 

 

 

electrolytic coating (Ag, Au, Cu-Ni, Cu, Cr, etc.)

 

 

 

organic coating (Liquid paints, powder based paints)

 

 

 

plastic coating

 

Very good anticorrosive properties
