The Process of Zinc Die Casting
When you choose Trident Resources for your zinc die casting needs, we custom-make your mold and parts to ensure that the parts you receive are exactly what you need. First, you send us an engineered drawing of the piece that you need, which we will use to create a custom mold for your casting. This mold will conform to the highest technical specifications, so that it can withstand repeated use as we mass-produce the components you have ordered.
Once the mold is done, parts are produced by pouring pressurized liquid zinc into the mold. The pressure placed on the zinc in this process contributes twofold to the high quality of die cast parts. First, the pressure makes the liquid fill the mold as perfectly as possible, so that the surface of your part is perfectly smooth. Second, the high pressure makes the part as dense as possible, so that the final product can withstand more stress than a part made from another process.
Zinc Die Casting Alloys
Zinc and zinc alloys are non-ferrous alloys that are used widely in die casting components. Zinc die casting products differ in terms of composition, grade, shape, dimensions, and features. Commercially pure, unalloyed or very low alloy zinc does not contain or contains only very small amounts of alloying elements. Pure or unalloyed zinc is used in non-structural applications and to galvanize metals such as iron in order to prevent corrosion.
Zinc die casting alloys are corrosion resistant under normal atmospheric conditions, in neutral to alkaline pH aqueous solutions and in contact with petroleum products. Like many other metals, the use of chromate or phosphate dip coatings enhances corrosion resistance.
Zinc's affinity for die casting and its strength provides excellent design flexibility, exhibiting an excellent combination of cost, strength, ductility, impact strength and finish acceptance. Zinc used in die casting is usually alloyed with small amounts of aluminum, magnesium, and copper. These small amounts of alloying materials transform the zinc, which in its pure form is a brittle, low-strength metal, into an excellent engineering material. The zinc alloys used in die casting have high strength and hardness, good ductility and excellent casting properties.
