Detailed Product Description

ZAMAK  is a family of alloys with a base metal of Zinc and alloying elements of Aluminium, Magnesium and Copper. Zamak alloys are part of the zinc aluminium alloy family; they are distinguished from the other ZA alloys because of their constant 4% aluminium composition.The most common zamak alloy is zamak 3, but zamak 2, zamak 5 and zamak 7 are still commercially used. These alloys are most commonly die cast. Zamak alloys (particularly #3 and #5) are frequently used in the spin casting industry.

A large problem with early zinc die casting materials was zinc pest, owing to impurities in the alloys. Zamak avoided this by the use of 99.99% pure zinc metal.

Zamak can be electroplated, wet painted, and chromate conversion coated well
