Introduce Of Zinc/Zamak Die Casting Services

Zinc die-casting services are widely used in the manufacturing industry, providing a universal solution for the production of high-precision complex metal components. In this article, we will explore the complexity of this process, its widespread application, and the benefits it brings to various industries.

Understanding Zinc Die Casting

What is Zinc Die Casting?

Zinc Die Casting is a metal casting process that utilizes molten zinc to create intricate parts and components. It involves injecting molten zinc into a mold cavity, allowing it to solidify, and then ejecting the finished product. This method ensures high dimensional accuracy and a smooth surface finish.


The Zamak Advantage

Zamak, an alloy of zinc, is a preferred choice in die casting due to its excellent fluidity, corrosion resistance, and remarkable mechanical properties. Its ability to maintain tight tolerances and intricate shapes makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.

Applications of Zinc Die Casting

Automotive Industry

KYLT Zinc Die Casting Capacity

We have hot chamber die casting machines and cold chamber die casting machines to produce zamak metal products.

Hot chamber zinc die casting machines are used to produce small size zamak parts. It is full automatically.

Cold chamber die casting machines are used to produce middle & big size zinc alloy parts. For low-volume orders, we can use manual operation. For quantity orders, working with auto robots can achieve automatic die casting.

Zinc (Zamak) Die Casting Parts Manufacturing Process

A successful zinc alloy die casting part requires several stages: Zinc die cast mold making, Zinc die casting, Machining, Surface finishes & treatment, Assembly etc. Zinc die casting mold or die and Zamak die casting are two key stages.


Zinc die casting mold making stage:

To bulid a new Zamak die casting part must have a good quality mold or die, In KYLT, we have 3 steps to maufacture a quality precision zinc injection mold:

  • First step: Communication of Zamak parts design and function

    In the first step, we will analyze the customer's zinc part drawing, add mold release angle, and prevent the product's structure can not be released from mold cavity. Try the best to insure zinc die casting part reach drawing required tolerance, to save machining cost. Of course, any changes to the drawings must be approved by the end-user。

If end-user only has zamak part sample, we can build 3D drawing as per client's sample. 

After both side confirmed drawing's details, we can start design and making molds.

  • Second step: Mold design and making

    In this step, it is necessary to consider the positions of injection gates, ensuring good filling of the zinc alloy while avoiding the gate position affecting the appearance or function of the product. If necessary, we will conduct mold flow analysis to provide assurance for the formation of zinc alloy products.

Zamak die casting mold made of steel, into which molten zinc will be injected. The mold is designed to the exact specifications of the desired component. CNC milling, CNC turning, WEDM, EDM etc precision machining methods be used in the Mold making process.

When the mold is ready, we will test the mold to check the mold's working function.

If there are die-casting defects in the sample, we will solve them by adjusting machine parameters or improving mold design.

If the cast zinc parts samples are ok, we will inspect the dimensions as per drawing requirements. Drilling, Tapping, Milling, Turning etc precision machining is used to ensure finished zamak parts with tight tolerance.

Whether as casted surface or plating, painting, powder coating, electrophoretic coating, shot blasting, and media tumbled.  Zamak cast parts surface finishes also will be ready in the sampling process.

  • Third step: Mass production

    After the end-user confirms samples, we can do mass production as per orders.      



Zinc Die casting Process


Step 1: Mold Ready & Checking

Zinc die cast mold is in a waiting state for production. Before we fix it in die casting machine, We must check the mold situation, such as the conditions of ejection pins, cooling water connectors and mold cavities etc.

Step 2: Melting the Zinc

Zinc is heated to its melting point and maintained in a liquid state within a furnace. This molten zinc is then ladled into a chamber.

Step 3: Injection and Cooling

The molten zinc is injected into the mold cavity under high pressure. Once injected, it rapidly cools and solidifies, taking on the shape of the mold.

Step 4: Ejection and Trimming

After cooling, the mold is opened, and the newly formed component is ejected. Excess material is trimmed, and the finished product is ready for use.



Zinc Die Casting Parts' Post-treatment



Post-treatment of Metal Zamak die-cast parts involves machining and surface treatment two aspects.

  1. Machining: Driller, Milling machine, Tapper, CNC machine, NC lathe etc machines be used to create the required dimensions as per the drawing.

  2. Surface treatment: Polishing, Sanding, Vibration grinding, Shot blasting is conventional surface treatment methods for zinc die casting parts. Powder coating, Painting, Plating, Electrophoretic coating be made as per customers' demand. We will adjust the processing sequence according to the requirements of different zinc alloy products.

  3. Assembly Services: if required, we provide assembly services. Plastic injection molding parts, Stamping parts, Bending parts, Welding parts, CNC milling parts, CNC turning parts, Aluminum die casting parts can be finished here and assemblied together as per clients demand.


Quality Control in Zinc Die Casting Parts

Maintaining quality is essential in zinc die casting. Stringent quality control measures ensure that each component meets the highest standards. In KYLT, quality control includes three aspects:

  1. Zamak alloy raw material's quality control: Standard Zamak 3, Zamak 5 alloy raw material is from famous chinese alloy suppliers. Each batch of zinc alloy ingots has corresponding material certificates to ensure their reliable quality. All Zind die casting parts only use new zamak alloy ingot.

  2. Zinc die casting process quality control: During the mold adjustment stage, check the zinc alloy parts for casting defects, cold spots, bulging, and missing materials. Ensure that the pressure, temperature, and other performance of the mold and die casting machine reach a good state, and start mass production after the molding of the die-casting parts is stable and good.

  3. Finished Zamak parts quality control: Micrometer, Go/No-go gauge, CMM etc be used to measure zinc parts machining dimensions. PANTONE Color cards and sealed samples are used for color comparison to ensure that the produced product color is consistent with the sample.


Advantages of Zinc Die Casting
