As one of professional die casting manufacturers, we often receive these cases like custom zinc die castings and aluminum die castings for specific applications in many industry. The customer requires some personalized and tailored design plan to aim to the target of the specific application. Our engineering team will colloberate with the client, and finish these custom zinc die casting projects successfully each time. These custom zinc die casting: High Precision And Cost-efficiency. This requires us to provide precise mold tooling steel die, advanced die casting machines, invest well-skilled die casting technician and mass labors and strict quality control.
Custom Zinc Die Casting
Custom Zinc Die Casting is a manufacturing process that producing the custom die castings depends on the specific requirements or tailored demand from the client. It is suitable for lower melting points metal, Comparison to Custom Aluminum die Casting, which is ideal for process of high melting points metal. The custom die casting involves of OEM and ODM service projects. OEM project means that the supplier will design the custom casting die and manufacture the casting die and arrange the mass production in the term of product’s drawing offered by the client. However ODM project includes of 3d model of product design, the custom casting die design and manufacturing until finish the mass production, and finish the ODM project. It is called as “turnkey project”.
Material Choice For Custom Zinc Die Casting
We choose premium quality zinc alloy material to make high quality zinc alloy custom die casting components. And ensure meeting client’s specific requirements. As one professional metal die casting manufacturer, and possess advanced die casting machines and skilled-well technician and comprehensive management system. According to the applications and functions of the custom die casting, we will select the superior raw material among the below material.
Zamak Alloys are most commonly used zinc alloys for die casting. It contains these elements of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper. Can meet common demands of zinc die casting parts.
ZA Alloys (Zinc-Aluminum Alloys) contains higher levels of aluminum than Zamak alloys, with better mechanical properties. They can be used for some instructural components for automotive engine and heavy industrial equipment.
ACuZinc5 is a high-strength zinc-copper-aluminum. it is cast into higher performance automotive components with excellent wear resistance and strength, also suitable for applications of gears and bushings.

| ACuZinc | Zn (~99.5%), Ti (0.1–0.3%) |
Custom Zinc Die Casting Is High Precision And Cost-Efficiency
Custom Zinc Die Casting Is High Precision
Zinc die casting parts should be made by the precise high quality tooling steel die,which is processed through advanced equipment and precise technology. It involves of cnc milling, turning, grinding, polishing, cnc machining center and EDM processes .These tight tolerance process ensures the casting die high precision extendition. Since zinc die casting is ideal for miniature metal part, which structural and shape design need more tighter dimensions than larger size metal part from aluminum die casting. So the zinc casting die design become more complex, The tight tolerance is necessary.
Custom Zinc Die Casting is Cost-Efficiency
Zinc die casting parts are easy to make and cost-efficiency, compare to other metal material ,such aluminum , iron and copper. Since aluminum melt point is so high, at about 800 degrees. In another one, melting aluminum alloy material into aluminum liquid in need of much electricity power. However, zinc alloy melt point is 420 degrees or so. From this point, the zinc alloy casting is cost efficiency. Meanwhile, Zinc die casting provides fast cast cycle in mass production. And replacing the workers’ operations with automatic robotic actions and streamline in production.
Hot Chamber Die Casting Machines For Zinc Alloy
This should be a simple and straightforward process which injecting the molten metal into metal die under high pressure. And then forms parts and cools and solidifies shaped parts. As custom zinc die casting , which can form various metal parts at lower temperature. About 420 degree at the temperature. The melton pool is integrated with die casting machine. Die casting machine drives the plugin to melton metal into the casting die quickly, and have a fast casting cyle, suitable for mass production in high efficiency.
