Zinc

When choosing the right material, the focus is often on zinc and aluminum. Both metals have their strengths and are used in many areas.

The advantages of zinc are the very good casting behavior with low energy and reworking costs and the long service life of the die-casting tools.

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
