There are two types of common metal alloy cast material in modern industrial manufacturing, they are aluminum alloys and zinc alloys. Since different metal properties, these material cost and production cost are different. Aluminum alloys cost is cheaper, but production cost is higher, require higher temperature to process, consumpt more heat energy. However, zinc alloys cost are higher, but production cost is very lower, require low temperature to form, and have a fast cast cycle. So these two types alloys are made into some specific functional and structural casting part in different sectors. Aluminum Alloys Vs. Zinc Alloys, Choose the right alloy material to produce proper components in actual practice.
Aluminum alloy is very light metal, and castable, and also easy to be machined. So it can be cast into some precision components across many industries. Depends on the specific functional and application environments, die casting manufacturer can choose the right aluminum alloy composition to produce more high precision parts. and use them in many industries.
As one of lower melting points Metal, Zinc alloys can be cast into ideal metal components used largly in many industries, At lower production cost, technician can ensure producing high quality die casting components with hot chamber die casting machines in high efficiency. Of course more complex geometries and integrated structure components for zinc die casting meet the specific requirements of many industries.
