There are many advantages of zinc that can improve your part design. Zinc is a very cost effective material and allows for the consolidation of parts. The material zinc is more dense than aluminum creating a good heavy duty product.
A product with a little weight is more desirable to hold and feel in many applications. Another attribute of zinc is its fluidity. Molten zinc allows die casting to be performed in complex shapes such as ribbing or deep grooves without any additional machining.
Zinc is a corrosion resistant material, and is a great substrate for plating, painting, or powder coating. Many products offers painting and powder coating options to give parts a more aesthetically appealing look and feel.
