3.Advantages of Zinc Die Castings
Zinc alloys have many desirable characteristics for parts and components. Zinc is an extremely strong, rigid and hard metal. Yet through the high-pressure Youlin® zinc die casting process, zinc can be formed into parts with extremely thin walls and in intricate, complex shapes. Plus, zinc is a relatively low-cost material. One of the most significant advantages of zinc is the fact that it reduces tooling costs. Die cast tooling is typically a significant cost factor, so it’s important to save where you can. Because zinc has a low melting temperature, dies can last up to 10 times longer than those used in aluminum die casting and about five times longer than dies used for magnesium. That means fewer repairs, less downtime, and more parts produced over the life of the tool. Small zinc parts can utilize the high-speed 4-slide miniature zinc die casting process, which allows for significantly lower upfront tooling costs when compared to aluminum or magnesium.
The advantages of zinc die castings include:
✔Have exceptionally good electrical and high thermal conductivity
✔Non-sparking and non-magnetic, resist corrosion
✔Longer tool life, lower tooling cost
✔The ability to cast near net-shaped complex geometries with thinner walls and less draft angle than castings produced with other metals reduces the need for machine features.
✔Excellent balance of mechanical and physical properties, including higher yield strength and elongation when compared to aluminum or magnesium.
✔Good vibration dampening capacity compared to aluminum
✔Wide range of finishing options
✔Faster production time, completely recyclable
When zinc is die casting, it results in a monolithic part, with no welds, bolts or seams to compromise strength and durability. Die casting is capable of producing parts with more complex shapes, closer tolerances and thinner walls than other casting and molding processes.
The many advantages of zinc die casting parts allow it to be used in a wide range of industries, including automotive and electronics.
4.Zinc Die Casting in The Automotive Industries
The process of zinc die casting is highly popular for making parts in building and industrial fields, but its most common application is in the automotive industry. In fact, cars have different parts that can be crafted through die casting, so much so that the modern process of die casting originally started for the automotive industry. Zinc’s high strength and hardness lend itself to many solutions and it’s the ideal alternative to machined, pressed, stamped, and fabricated components. Many applications can be zinc die cast manufactured, including:
→Interior automotive aesthetic parts
→Engine and other under-the-hood components
→Power steering systems
→Brake parts and systems
→Air-conditioning components and systems
→Fuel systems
→Complex net-shaped housings
→Electronic devices
As said before, the automotive industry is the most common application of zinc die casting.
5.FAQ
Q: Why is zinc used for die casting?
A: Zinc alloys used in die casting development possess properties that make production easier when compared to other metal alloys. As a result, it provides an end-product that is durable and precise. The high ductility of zinc alloy means that it is ideal for the die casting process.
Q: Is die cast zinc strong?
A: Zinc casting alloys are strong, durable and cost effective engineering materials. No other alloy system provides the combination of strength, toughness, rigidity, bearing performance and economical castability.
Q: Which is more expensive zinc or copper?
A: Copper can be aesthetically the most appealing of the metals, but also the most expensive. Zinc is the greenest of the materials due to its low melting point, but is also very expensive. Aluminum roofs offer a great solution in coastal regions, and is less expensive than Copper or Zinc.
