About Zinc and Zinc Alloys

Zinc and zinc alloys are non-ferrous alloys that are used widely in the production of die cast components. 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 r non-structural applications and to galvanize metals such as iron in order to prevent corrosion. Zinc alloys contain significant amounts of added elements or constituents. Common types include zinc oxide and zinc sulfide. Zinc oxide is used in the manufacture of paints, rubber products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, floor coverings, plastics, printing ink, soap, textiles, and electrical equipment. Zinc sulfide is used in luminous dials, X-ray and television screens, fluorescent lights and non-toxic paints.

Products & Services Related to Zinc and Zinc Alloys

Carbon Steels and Alloy Steels

Carbon steels and alloy steels are ferrous alloys that contain carbon and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel.

Copper, Brass and Bronze Alloys

Copper, brass and bronze alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength.

Metal Balls

Metal balls and spherical shapes are used as check or ball valves, bearings, or other applications. Metal bearing balls are precision ground for ball bearings or other motion systems.

Metal Foils and Foil Stock

Metal foils and foil stock are very thin, metal-mill products with a thickness that is usually less than 0.006 in.

Refractory and Reactive Metals

Reactive and refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, chromium, hafnium, zirconium, and titanium. Reactive metals oxide rapidly and form a stable oxide. Refractory metals and alloys have melting points above ~ 1750° C (~ 3200 F°).

Stainless Steel Alloys

Stainless steel alloys are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardened (PH), and duplex metal materials that are available in a wide variety of grades, shapes, and sizes.

Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Titanium and titanium alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue properties, and a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Zinc \| Machine Design Casting alloys: Zinc-casting alloys can be grouped into two general categories: standard zinc die-casting alloys, and the newer ZA (zinc-aluminum)
Soldering Processes \| Machine Design Tin-zinc alloys are used mainly for soldering aluminum -- primarily where a low soldering temperature is required.
Tin \| Machine Design by a low-melting point (450°F), fluidity when molten, readiness to form alloys with other metals, relative softness, and good formability.
