Die Casting Processes with the Use of Zinc Alloy. Die casting is the process by which molten ferrous metal, e.g., zinc, magnesium, copper, lead, tin, aluminum, etc., are molded into cavities and placed under pressure to form. The method of die casting is ideal if the application needed is in large quantity and should be well-detailed and has fine quality. Zinc is a non-ferrous metal that is popularly used for die casting. This is due to the fact that zinc alloys have many characteristics that far exceed other metals. Zinc alloys have high strength and hardness, has high thermal and electrical conductivity, low cost, good finishing characteristics, outstanding fluidity, and excellent corrosion resistance among others.
In the zinc die casting process, two processes are involved, the hot chamber method and the cold chamber method. These two zinc die casting processes make use of various types of metal alloys during the production of parts in the zinc die casting process. The hot chamber method involves the process wherein a steel die is filled with a pool of molten metal, all the time maintaining pressure, until the metal hardens. The second process, the cold chamber method, involves the use of two separate chambers, first to melt, then to hold the melted zinc alloy before it is poured into a shot cylinder and afterwards inject them to the die casting die. Before, the metal alloys used in Zinc die casting processes are tin and lead. The zinc alloy however gained popularity and is now the first choice when it comes to die casting.
