Zinc Die Castings
Zinc gets a bad rap. People just don't realize how much Zinc they touch every day. Zinc is most commonly used in aesthetic parts such as door handles, sink hardware, semi-horns, belt buckles; the list goes on. It's easier not to notice Zinc because it is commonly chrome plated, polished, colored bronze or painted. The benefits of Zinc are as follows:
- High strength and hardness
- Heavy (~2x the weight of aluminum)
- Corrosion resistant
- Excellent as cast surface finish
- Easily plated
- Better castability when compared to Aluminum (allows for thinner walls and less draft)
- Recyclable
