Die-casting alloys

Zinc Alloy for custom metal parts.

Used for compact die-cast housings and hardware when repeatable casting detail, practical surface finishing and selected post-machined interfaces are required.

DIRECT ANSWER

How KEC Tour reviews zinc alloy.

KEC Tour reviews zinc-alloy die-cast parts with drawing-defined post-machining and finishing. Alloy, draft, wall transitions, cosmetic surfaces, machining datums and plating requirements should be developed as one manufacturing route.

ENGINEERING NOTES

Three decisions before manufacturing.

Tooling route

Part design, annual quantity, tooling life and change risk affect the commercial approach.

Casting detail

Draft, uniform wall transitions, parting lines and ejector zones should be reviewed early.

Machining datum

Critical post-machined features need stable casting references and realistic stock.

PROCESS MATCH

Manufacturing routes reviewed for this material.

MATERIAL EVIDENCE

Ask for documents before the order—not after shipment.

State the material certificate, traceability, inspection and finish-report expectations in the RFQ. Document availability and scope are confirmed per material and order.

MATERIAL FAQ

Questions to settle before release.

Can zinc die castings be CNC machined?+

Yes. Critical bores, faces and threads can be post-machined when datums and machining stock are defined.

Is tooling required?+

Production die casting normally requires project-specific tooling. Tooling ownership, life, maintenance and change terms should be agreed.

Can zinc alloy be plated?+

Plating can be reviewed when the surface-preparation route, finish, appearance zones and acceptance criteria are defined.
