Methods Implemented for Cost Reduction in Zinc Die Castings

Zinc die casting is commonly supplied as pressure die castings. The thermal distortions of both die and casting are the least of any of the casting processes as the casting temperatures are low that for the die and minor contraction problems for the casting creates low expansion problems; from steel, the dies are accurately machined. Thus zinc pressure die castings are capable of meeting many net shape requirements.

In molds of all types, the light alloys based on magnesium and aluminum can be cast. For HPDC, the dies are steel and there is no use of a protective coat as a result it maximizes accuracy. The die casts iron or steel for low pressure and gravity die castings but is protected by a ceramic die coat.

In zinc die casting services, being executed without affecting the quality and functionality of the component that is produced, cost-reduction is an activity. All the activities that have the aim to simplify production processes, increase productivity, and diminish scrap rate as well as the choices of materials and processing, are cost reduction strategies.

In different ways, you can implement the cost reduction in zinc die casting. Zinc is a versatile metal that when manufactured with the right technologies, allows saving not only in absolute terms, as it allows the die caster to save the raw materials, time, and energy that are needed in the process but also compared to other metals.

In the production of die-casts, you can implement cost reduction by:

• During the die casting process when it comes to saving it is also important to choose the right die caster
• Optimization of the productive process
• With the customer through co-design methods designing processes and components together

Selecting zinc instead of other metals or other metal alloys

In the die casting process, Zinc alloys have employed some properties that when compared to other metals make them competitive. These are few chemical-physical properties that allow the reduction of costs related to production processes and the subsequent stages, such as, for example, those of disposal and recycling and are also used by zinc die casting manufacturer.
