Die Casting Comparison of Zinc Parts and Aluminum Parts in 2023



Die Casting Comparison of Zinc Parts and Aluminum Parts. Kinetic Die Casting Company produces parts for our customers in two types of metals. Aluminum and Zinc alloys. Most of the parts we produce are in aluminum.

When we get a quote request that does not specify the materiel, we ask a few questions to determine which metal would be better for them.

  1. Does weight matter? Zinc weighs about two and half (2.44) times more than aluminum. In other words, a part that weighs five (5) pounds in aluminum will weigh over twelve (12.22) pounds in zinc.
  2. Do you need EMI/RF shielding? Do you need electrical conductivity? Aluminum is much more electrically conductive than zinc, making it a better shield for RF/EMI.
  3. Do you need thermal conductivity? Aluminum is used by many manufacturers as a heat sink.
  4. Do you want parts with a highly polished finished surface? Zinc polishes very well, much better than aluminum.
  5. Do you need your parts plated? Zinc parts can be plated much better than aluminum.
  6. Are you intending to use the parts in a salt environment? Aluminum decays faster than zinc in a salty environment.

    REACH and RoHS 3 Compliant 2022

    Kinetic Die Casting Company Parts use RECYCLED Materials in our die casting metal alloys. Kineticdc complies with the EU RoHS 3 standards. Die casting alloys have less than 0.1% of any of the REACH chemicals.

    REACH
    Registration: Chemical producers are required to register safety data for all chemicals produced.
    Evaluation: Experts from member states and the European Agency evaluate safety data for higher volume chemicals and other chemicals of concern.
    Authorization: Chemicals that are “substances of very high concern” (SVHC) are to be phased out and replaced with safer alternative chemicals.
    Chemicals Restriction: Chemicals may be completely banned or some uses of the chemicals can be restricted

    RoHS 3 REACH Compliant

    RoHS REACH Compliant

    REACH and RoHS 3 Compliant 2022

    REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals, EC 1907/2006) is the European Union’s chemical regulation that requires that chemical substances on their own, in preparations and all intentionally released substances from articles must be registered with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

    The regulation applies to substances manufactured in, or imported to the EU in annual quantities of 1 ton or more. According to the REACH requirements on Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) a supplier of manufactured and imported articles shall provide customers with information on SVHC if they are present above a concentration limit of 0.1 % on an article level. SVHC will be defined through the list of candidate substances for authorization that is produced by the European Chemicals Agency.

    Die Casting Zinc Alloys in 2022

    Die Casting Zinc Alloys

    Die casting zinc alloys to offer castability, a broad range of excellent physical and mechanical properties, and finishing characteristics. The advantages of utilizing zinc alloys include thin walls, close dimensional tolerances, and variation in section design. Compared to others, die-casting zinc alloys have higher strength components.

    The die maintenance is reduced and the die life is lengthened because of the lower temperatures under which zinc alloy is cast. There are several companies that manufacture a complete range of die-casting zinc alloys. One of them is the Eastern Alloys.

    Die casting zinc alloys have high strength and hardness, which makes them ideal alternatives for machined, pressed, stamped, and fabricated items. Normally cast alloys are non-ferrous and there is a large number available with a wide range of physical and mechanical properties covering almost every conceivable application a designer might require. Die casting zinc alloys are among the most widely used because of their low melting point. Usually, low melting point alloys are cast in a hot chamber machine while intermediate and high melting alloys are cast in cold chamber machines.

    One of the fastest and most cost-effective methods for producing a wide range of components is die casting. The major benefit from this process can be achieved if the designers were able to collaborate with the die caster at an early stage of product development and design. In order to help resolve issues that affect the tooling and production during the design phase, it is best to consult the die caster at the earliest possible time.
