Zinc High Pressure Die Casting

We also employ the latest technology in our Frech fully automated cell. This includes auto spraying, fully integrated casting weighing ensuring the complete casting is removed prior to the closing loop, conveyer cooling and light guard presses. The complete cycle is monitored with real time shot control ensuring consistent quality castings time after time. The special properties of the zinc based alloy allows very close tolerances to be cast, this in turn eliminates most second op machining to all but the tightest controlled dimensions.

Zinc HPDC castings lend themselves very well to second operation finishing, including alochrome, anodizing and electroplating to name but a few.  For more details on finishing of castings please refer to our “Finishing” section.

Zinc HPDC castings have extended die life over Aluminium HPDC castings, due to the less aggressive wear characteristics of the zinc alloy. It is not uncommon for the Zinc HPDC tools to see half a million shots before refurbishment or replacement tooling is required. All of these features ensure that Zinc castings will remain a first choice for most designers, with its intrinsic weight benefits ensuring a steady future for this alloy and the Zinc casting methods.
