Release time:2020-09-25

Magnesium

Magnesium is strong, rigid, fully recyclable, and is the ideal alloy for saving weight when you don’t want to sacrifice durability.

Magnesium benefits:

The lightest of all structural metals
Excellent stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
Outstanding EMI and RFI shielding properties
High conductivity, electrical, and thermal
Withstands high operating temperatures
Cost-effective compared with many engineered thermoplastic materials
High dimensional accuracy and stability
Exceptional thin wall capability
Good environmental corrosion resistance
Good finishing characteristics
Full recyclability

Magnesium application

Almost as light-weight as plastic, magnesium has the advantage of greater strength and rigidity along with inherent EMI/RFI shielding, durability, heat-dissipation, and full recyclability.

AZ91D

Alloy AZ91D is the most widely used magnesium die cast alloy and has an excellent combination of mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and castability.

Aluminum

Aluminum castings are lightweight and able to withstand the highest operating temperatures of all die cast alloys.

Aluminum alloy characteristics:

High operating temperatures
Outstanding corrosion resistance
Lightweight
Very good strength and hardness
Good stiffness and strength-to-weight ratio
Excellent EMI and RFI shielding properties
Excellent thermal conductivity
High electrical conductivity
Good finishing characteristics
Full recyclability

Aluminum’s strength, corrosion resistance, and heat dissipating properties offer mechanical designers significant advantages. And our proprietary Thin Wall Aluminum Technology has made aluminum die casting an option for even more applications.

Applications for aluminum:

Aluminum castings improve automotive fuel efficiency by contributing to weight saving requirements
Aluminum is used in a broad range of networking and infrastructure equipment in the telecom and computing industries because RF filter boxes and housings require heat dissipation
In handheld devices, aluminum castings provide EMI/RFI shielding, rigidity, and durability with minimal weight
Because of aluminum’s excellent electrical performance and shielding properties, even in high-temperature environments, die cast aluminum is ideal for electronic connectors and housings

Zinc’s high strength and hardness lends itself to many solutions and it’s the ideal alternative to machined, pressed, stamped, and fabricated compon

Applications for Zinc:

Complex net-shaped zinc housings, with precise thin walls offer excellent electrical performance and shielding properties
Our proprietary multi-slide die casting process and superior thin-wall capabilities make us the foremost supplier of zinc components for broad range of consumer electronic devices
The castability of zinc, its wear resistance, and structural integrity make it perfect for the creation of the multi-faceted, highly complex shapes used in automotive safety and electronics industry

Zamak 2

Zinc Alloy 2, also known as Kirksite or Zamak 2 (ASTM AC43A), is the highest strength and hardness of the Zamak family.

Zamak 3

Zamak 3 (ASTM AG40A), or Zinc Alloy 3, is the most widely used zinc alloy in North America and is usually the first choice when considering zinc for die casting for a number of reasons.

Zamak 5

Zamak 5 (ASTM AC41A) or Zinc Alloy 5, is the most widely used zinc alloy in Europe.

Zamak 7

Zamak 7 (ASTM AG40B), or Zinc Alloy 7, is a modification of Zamak 3. It is a high-purity alloy containing lower magnesium content and has a tighter impurities specification. This results in improved casting fluidity, ductility and surface finish.

ZA 8

ZA-8, or zinc aluminum alloy, contains significantly more aluminum than the Zamak group of alloys. ZA-8 contains approximately 8.4% aluminum and is the only ZA alloy that can be hot-chamber die cast, an important consideration when selecting a material for a component.

ZA 27

ZA-27, or zinc aluminum alloy, contains significantly more aluminum than the Zamak group of alloys. The number 27 represents the approximate percentage of aluminum.

EZAC

EZAC is a hot-chamber zinc die casting alloy with superior creep resistance, high yield strength, and high hardness.

ACuZinc5

This is an alloy researched and developed by General Motors.

Zinc Creep

inc creep is the time-dependent strain that takes place under a given load.
