Zamak Metal Types

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: DieCastingZinc

Interestingly, zinc alloys are the result of the zinc parts die casting manufacturing process wherein zinc combines with another metallic element. Both the benefits and the uses of zinc alloys are plentiful, but it must be noted that the alloys themselves vary from each other in certain areas and thus properly function only under certain conditions. One zinc alloy type may work best for a precise everyday application whereas a different alloy type might have the opposite effect on that same application. If you have a requirement for zinc alloy, it is therefore important for you to determine first of all the type of alloy you will need instead of simply sticking with whatever is available and risk ending up with unusable chunks of metal.

There are presently seven normally accepted types of zinc alloy listed under either of three main groups dependent on their rudimentary metallurgy: the ZAMAK Alloys (i.e. zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and the German translation of copper), the ZA Alloys (zinc and aluminum), and ACuZinc 5.

One metal of zinc is called ZAMAK 2, also known as Kirksite, is stronger and harder than any other type of zinc alloy because of its high copper content. This copper content, nevertheless, is a double-edged sword as it provides the alloy enhanced durability in exchange for its resistance to normal deterioration. As a result of this tradeoff, ZAMAK 2 isn't used as widely as its contemporaries.

Another alloy is called ZAMAK 3 is the zinc alloy that sees the most widespread use in North America largely because it strikes a balance between strength, hardness, density, and thermal and electrical conductivity. The resulting finish and chemical coating make polishing and electroplating relatively easy, though its resistance to corrosion has been deemed moderate at best.

Furthermore ZAMAK 5 is to Europe what ZAMAK 3 is to North America, though the former is closer in composition to ZAMAK 2 because of the high copper content. The amplified strength and hardness again come at a cost, ductility in this case. ZAMAK 3 is regarded as a adequate substitute in the deficiency of ZAMAK 5 for as long as design modifications are unified during the genuine zinc parts die casting manufacturing to boost components' strength, but if a component is to be frequently subjected to incredible stress in the fulfillment of its function, nothing less than ZAMAK 5 will do. ZAMAK 5 does provide bonuses in that it is comparable to ZAMAK 3 in the areas of plating, finishing, and ease of casting.

In comparison,ZAMAK 7 is essentially ZAMAK 3 with some characteristic modifications. Thinner wall sections of components may be cast, thus making ZAMAK 7 most suitable for special hardware applications such as pipes and faucets.

Furthermore, each of the two ZA Alloys has high aluminum content compared to any member of the ZAMAK group. ZA 8 is also the sturdiest of any zinc alloy produced by the hot chamber zinc die casting process enhanced for mass production. ZA 8 also comes with superb finishing and plating which makes it the zinc alloy of choice for decorative functions such as luxury bathroom fixtures.

MoreoverZA 27 is best known for its load-bearing characteristics, all thanks to its mixture of high strength, high melting point, and low density.

Likewise,ACuZinc 5 (A for aluminum, copper represented by the periodic table symbol Cu, and zinc) possesses improved strength, hardness, and load-bearing capability. It was initially developed by General Motors during the 1990s as an alloy that could better adhere to the load and safety standards of the automotive industry since conventional zinc parts die casting manufacturing at the time wasn't able to produce components with the required attributes.
