| No. 2 is the only ZAMAK alloy which is used for gravity casting; mainly for metal forming dies or plastic injection tools. This alloy is sometimes referred to as Kirksite. | |
| No. 3 alloy is usually the first choice when considering zinc die casting. Its excellent balance of desirable physical and mechanical properties, superb castability and long-term dimensional stability are the... | |
| No. 5 alloy castings are marginally stronger and harder than No. 3. However, these improvements are tempered with a reduction in ductility which can affect formability during secondary bending, riveting,... | |
| No. 7 alloy is a modification of #3 alloy in which lower magnesium content is specified in order to increase the fluidity. To avoid problems with inter-granular corrosion lower levels... | |
| Slush-cast alloy is a high-purity purpose-engineered product manufactured by Eastern Alloys. This alloy was developed to provide a high fluidity casting material capable of producing a good surface definition when... | |
| ZA alloys were initially developed for gravity casting. Their mechanical properties compete directly with bronze, cast iron and aluminum using sand, permanent mold and plaster mold casting methods. Beginning in... |
