What Is Zinc Alloy

It is an alloy based on zinc and composed of other elements. The commonly added alloy elements include aluminum, copper, magnesium, cadmium, lead, titanium, etc. Zinc alloy has low melting point, good flowability, and is easy to melt, solder, and plastic work. It is corrosion-resistant in the atmosphere, and residual waste is easy to recover and remelt. However, its creep strength is low, and it is prone to size changes caused by natural aging. Prepared by melting method, die-casting or pressure processing into materials.
Zinc alloys can be divided into cast zinc alloys and deformed zinc alloys according to manufacturing processes. Cast zinc alloy has good flowability and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for die-casting instruments, automotive parts casings, etc.
