Zinc Die Casting

Zinc is one of the most versatile die cast metals. It provides higher precision with lower tooling costs when compared to other die cast metals like aluminum or magnesium. zinc die casting also offers a broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties, finishing characteristics, and is the easiest to cast. Die Casting is a versatile, efficient and economical process for producing engineered metal parts.
Die casting offers a broader range of shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique. The die casting process requires a steel mold. These reusable steel molds, called dies, can be designed to produce complex shapes with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The dies are mounted into a machine that injects molten metal into the dies under high pressure. Once the molten metal has solidified, the die is opened and the casting is ejected from the mold. The die is then closed and the process starts over.
