Casting behavior
Zinc can be used to create very intricate structures with a high level of detail and minimal reworking.
Corrosion resistance
Zinc forms a natural patina that protects the material from corrosion and has a self-healing effect.
Durability
Zinc has an impressive service life of up to 100 years, especially outdoors. Aluminum has a shorter service life, especially in aggressive environments.
Environmentally friendly
Zinc is 100% recyclable and requires less energy to produce than aluminum, for example.
Aesthetics
Zinc develops an elegant, blue-grey patina that gives it an attractive appearance over time.
Conclusion: Zinc scores with very good castability, low reworking costs, long tool life, corrosion resistance, durability, sustainability and environmental friendliness
