From part conception and thorough prototyping to assembling finished product.

ZINC ALLOYS
Our trained Metallurgists ensure that all alloys meet the specifications through continual chemical and physical analysis.
Zinc alloys are the easy to high pressure diecast. They offer high ductility, and impact strength, and can be easily plated. Zinc alloys have a lower melting point than aluminum which can assist in improving die life.
Our alloys include:
Zinc: Zamak-2, Zamak-3, Zamak-5, Zamak-7
Zinc-Aluminum: ZA-8, ZA-12, and ZA-27,and ACuZinc-5.
ZA alloys are zinc-based die casting materials that have a higher aluminum content than standard zinc alloys. These alloys have high strength characteristics also high hardness and well bearing properties.

ZINC MOLD FLOW TESTING
FUERD uses the internationally recognized CAM simulation technology to optimize tool design and zinc casting quality.

CAM simulation capabilities provide a better understanding of zinc injection mold filling, solidification, mechanical properties, thermal stresses, and distortions.

What Is Zinc Die Casting?

Zinc die casting is a metal casting process characterized by pressuring molten metal into the mold cavity. The mold cavity is created using two hardened tool steel molds that are machined to the net shape or near net shape of the zinc die casting parts. Zinc die casting process allows products to be made with high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The Zinc die casting process can also produce fine details such as textured surfaces or names without requiring further processing.

 

How are Zinc Die Castings Made?

Steel dies capable of producing tens of thousands of zinc castings in quick succession must be made in at least two sections to allow the castings to be removed. These parts are firmly mounted in the machine and are arranged so that one is stationary (fixed die half) and the other one is movable (injector die half). To begin the casting cycle, the two mold halves are clamped together by a die-casting machine. Molten zinc alloy is injected into the mold cavity and rapidly solidified. The mold half is opened and the zinc casting is ejected. Zinc die casting molds can be simple or complicated, with movable slides, cores, or other parts, depending on the complexity of the casting.

To date, the complete cycle of zinc die casting has been the fastest cycle to produce precision zinc parts. This is in stark contrast to sand casting, which requires new sand molds for each casting. Although the permanent mold process uses iron or steel molds instead of sand, it is much slower and less precise than zinc die castings.

 
Application of zinc die casting

Zinc die casting is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten zinc into a mold to create complex and precise metal parts. This process offers a wide range of applications across various industries due to its ability to produce high-quality, detailed, and cost-effective components.
