Zinc Die Casting Parts Company

Kinetic Die Casting Company makes diecast parts in zinc, zinc die casting, as well as our aluminum parts. Zinc Die Cast Parts weigh more than aluminum.

There are two processes to make zinc parts by a die casting company, the hot-chamber zinc die casting method and the cold-chamber zinc die casting method:

  1. The hot-chamber zinc die casting method,an internal plunger system injects the zinc from a pool of molten zinc metal to fill the steel die while maintaining pressure until the zinc metal hardens in the diecasting die.
  2. The cold-chamber zinc die casting method, on the other hand, uses separate chambers to melt and then hold the melted zinc metal before pouring the zinc alloy into a die casting shot cylindar and injecting the zinc metal into the die casting dies.

A die casting company uses various metal alloys in the production of parts using the die casting process. Tin and lead were the first metal alloys that were used by die casting companies for die casting of metal printer’s types. Throughout the years, a number of other metal alloys ensued as medium by die casting companies for metal parts. Among the most popular metal alloys is the zinc die casting alloy.

Kinetic Die Casting Company
uses all of these
zinc die casting alloys
to make zinc diecasting parts.

Zinc die casting alloys:

  • Zinc #2 die casting alloy,
  • Zinc #3 die casting alloy,
  • Zinc #5 die casting alloy, and
  • Zinc #7 die casting alloy.

    Zinc is also known as Zamak die casting alloy:

  • Zamak 2,
  • Zamak 3,
  • Zamak 5 and
  • Zamak 7.

    There are four alloys in the conventional zinc group, which are often referred to commercially as the “Zamak” alloys (an acronym for zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper). These alloys, with their ASTM designations, are:

    • Zinc 2 ASTM AC43A
    • Zinc 3 ASTM AG40A
    • Zinc 5 ASTM AC41A
    • Zinc 7 ASTM AG40B

    Zinc die casting alloys include the ZA Alloys (zinc-aluminum die casting alloys):

  • ZA-8 die casting alloy,
  • ZA-12 die casting alloy, and
  • ZA-27 die casting alloy.
