Miniature Type of Zinc Die Castings
Zinc die casting is very popular among those who are in the die casting industry. Zinc is very good die casting material because of its properties. A lot of products come from zinc die casting, including golf clubs, automotive parts and hardware parts. One type of zinc die casting is the miniature zinc casting process. Die Casting parts zinc castings are made with the use of a 4-slide die casting mold. The weight of production processes range from a fraction of an ounce to as much as ¾ lbs with sizes from miniscule to 4 x 4 x 1 inch. Miniature zinc casting parts can undergo die casting in a complete range of zinc alloys like Zamak 2, Zamak 3, Zamak 5 and Zamak 7. ZA-8 zinc-aluminum alloys can also be an option. Zamak is another name for Zinc.
The main reason why manufacturers use miniature zinc casting is because miniature zinc die casting parts can undergo faster cycling and can be made on multi-slide hot chamber zinc die casting machines. Miniature zinc die casting machines have proven this new technology as the choice for highly sophisticated miniature zinc casting components. Although the technology of high-precision miniature zinc die casting process is very much alike, the hot chamber zinc die casting process of bigger zinc part types, the former is able to hold higher tolerances, usually with zero draft to “net shares” or “as cast” in faster cycles.
Zinc and ZA8 parts are developed by reducing the metal shrinkage and removing operations of pre-die casting. Automated production of zinc parts can make miniature zinc casting parts and units attain a value of pennies per piece and with tremendous low tooling investments. Plus, the lifespan of your projects can endure longer time when you use miniature zinc and ZA-8 die casting tooling.
