What is zinc alloy material?
Zinc alloy, also known as potable zinc or sculpting zinc, is a type of material made from a combination of zinc and other metals, typically copper, aluminum, and magnesium. This alloy is known for its unique properties, including corrosion resistance, strength, and ductility. Zinc alloy is commonly used in various applications, such as architectural hardware, decorative trim, and sculptures. It’s also used in power tools, machinery parts, and even medical devices due to its biocompatibility. The specific properties of zinc alloy can vary depending on the type of alloy and its intended use.
Why use zinc alloy die casting?
- High Strength
- Complete recycling is possible when the product is no longer in usable shape.
- Immaculate finish
- Thin walls can be incorporated in the zinc alloy die casting products.
- Raw materials cost is very low.
- Electrical conductivity is good.
- Components made using zinc alloy die casting have an impressive thermal conductivity as compared to other metals.
- Good stability
- Dimensional accuracy is excellent.
- Corrosion resistance.
Zinc alloy material is practically the first-choice material for sports medals. In addition to being cost-effective in terms of molds and unit price, what’s most significant is that zinc alloy allows for a multitude of variations such as intricate internal cutting, spinning design, fully 3D effects, and even mechanical functionalities – zinc alloy can showcase them all. No matter how delicate, or bold and distinctive your concept is, we embrace challenges of all sizes and cater to all shapes and creative visions.
Zinc Alloy Medals offer incredible design flexibility due to the injection moulding process, while the material itself is highly durable giving these medals a quality finish.
A large percentage of enamel medals are two-dimensional, however when a design requires three-dimensional or multi layered two-dimensional work, then this process comes into its own.
As with standard enamel medals, these zinc alloy alternatives can include up to four enamel colours and can be moulded to any shape.
