Comparison of Zn and aluminum Die casting process

You can work in a die casting process that uses Zn and aluminum, but you work differently than the die casting process. In addition, compared with Zn die-casting, aluminum die-casting can provide many advantages, but compared with Zn die-casting, aluminum die-casting operation time is higher. Here are the differences between Zn and aluminum die casting:

Hot and cold room comparison:

Zinc die-casting is carried out in the hot cavity casting process, while aluminum die-casting is carried out in the cold cavity casting process. The reason is that their properties are different, and using hot and cold casting processes will ensure you get the best casting results.

Corrosion resistance:

The corrosion resistance of zinc alloy is very good, but its corrosion resistance will be reduced by adding other metals during casting. In addition, because the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy material is very good, so the surface treatment can improve its corrosion resistance.

Material weight:

Zinc alloys make heavier parts than aluminum. Therefore, Zn die-casting is not suitable for manufacturing light weight parts.

The complexity of the design：

You can make more precise parts and components using an aluminum casting process. Aluminum alloys also have greater tolerances, so if your product requires more precision, you should use aluminum alloys. Zinc die-casting can also have a more precise structure, but aluminum die-casting can have a more precise structure.
