Die cast zinc is one of the most versatile of die casting alloys. It provides high precision with low tooling costs. Zinc die casting offers a broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties, finishing characteristics and is the easiest to cast. Advantages of zinc die casting include:
- Complex shapes and thinner walls
- Superior mechanical and physical properties with excellent tensile strength and dimensional stability
- Excellent RFI/EMI shielding capabilities
- Longer die life with minimal maintenance
- Wide range of finishing options
STX manufacture a large range of zinc components for various industries with machine tonnage ranging from 25 ton to 150 ton. Pressure die casting is a process where molten metal alloy is injected under high pressure into a steel mold (or tool), and solidifies rapidly (within milliseconds) to form a net shaped component and is then automatically extracted.
The die casting tool will typically produce any number of components from hundred of thousands to millions, before requiring replacement.
