Zinc Die Casting Advantages

Zinc offers numerous advantages over other die casting materials :

• Zinc alloys have low viscosity, making small and intricate shapes possible
• It is economical for small parts
• Zinc alloys are highly corrosion resistant
• It cools rapidly, decreasing casting cycle times
• Zinc is a fair conductor of electricity
• Zinc is one of the easier alloys to cast; Zinc offers high ductility, high impact strength, and is easily plated
• Zinc has a low melting point
• It promotes long die life

For these and other reasons, zinc is a frequently used material for die casting. For more information on zinc die casting.
