1.What to Know About Zinc Alloys for Casting | Welleshaft Zinc alloys stay a reliable pick when it comes to precision casting. Thanks to their low melting temp, resistance to rust, and shaping flexibility, zinc alloy casting holds its ground in today’s factories. What is zinc alloy material? At Welleshaft, we build custom cast zinc parts for machinery, electronics, car parts, and even medical tools. This guide walks you through alloys with zinc, how casting zinc works, common types like ZAMAK, and why zn alloys make sense in real-world production. 2.Properties of Zinc Alloys (1)What Is Zinc Alloy Material? Mostly made of zinc with some aluminum, magnesium, and copper mixed in, zinc […]
1.Why Zinc Die Casting Stands Out for Durable Parts Many engineers and manufacturers pick zinc die casting because of its great zinc strength, accuracy, and affordability. At Welleshaft, we work with casting zinc and zinc alloy die casting daily, delivering reliable zinc die casting parts across various fields. This article explains how strong is zinc, dives into key properties of die cast zinc alloys, and shows why they’re popular from automotive to jewelry uses. (1)Mechanical Strength: How Strong Is Zinc Die Cast? People often ask, “is zinc alloy strong?” Well, die cast zinc is tough — some zinc alloys reach tensile strengths around 54,000 psi, especially when compared to aluminum. This makes die cast zinc […]
1.What Is ZAMAK? The Ultimate Guide to Zinc Die Casting Alloys | Welleshaft ZAMAK, also called ZAMAC, is a long-used family of zinc alloys that changed high-pressure die casting when it came on the scene in the 1920s. Here at Welleshaft, your go-to zinc die cast manufacturer, we work hands-on with zamak casting across industries needing tough parts made to last. 2.What Is ZAMAK (or ZAMAC)? It stands for zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper—based on their German names. That’s why it ends with a ‘K’ instead of a ‘C.’ This zinc alloy stays strong under pressure and pours clean in molds, making it a top pick in die casting. Alloy Composition Table […]
Does Zinc Die Cast Rust? 1.Does Zinc Alloy Rust Over Time? Choosing material for die cast metal parts means asking—does zinc alloy rust? People often worry about how parts hold up once they hit air, water, or chemicals. Welleshaft’s zinc alloy parts resist wear that steel can’t match—without turning into red rust. 2.What Is Zinc Alloy and What Is Die Cast Metal? (1)What Is Zinc Alloy Material? A zinc alloy mixes zinc with bits of aluminum, copper, magnesium. This mix gives it better grip, strength, and rust resistance. We see zinc used a lot in auto parts, jewelry, door fittings, and more. (2)What Is Diecast Metal? In diecasting, you push liquid […]
