Benefits of Custom Zinc Die Casting

Eko Industries is one of the leading custom zinc die casting companies in the USA. We have an exceptional track record for producing quality castings across a variety of industries.

Eko Industries is well known for its high-quality material choice and customizable solutions, but don’t just take our word for it. Quality customer reviews are essential in deciding which supplier to purchase from, and we appreciate each and every review that we receive.

One of the most popular products is the Aluminum Antique Copper Plating Process featuring CuZn Technology, a patented alloy coating with superior conductivity and reliability. This coating is made from a mixture of synthetic oils and high-grade aluminum that creates an even layer on the surface.

The process starts by applying anti-oxidation oil to protect the metal surface, followed by putting it into a plating tank. The product then goes through up to 3 different tanks, depending on color selection. The last step is to remove the product from the plating tank and warm it with a special oven. This process adds shine and enhances its durability, which is perfect for any project.

Custom Zinc die casting is a metal casting manufacturing method that uses reusable molds, usually made out of cast iron, and compressed air or hydraulic pressure to produce the parts. Zinc is one of several alloys used in die casting, and babbitt (tin/lead) alloys are the most common, although aluminum and magnesium also see occasional use.

The first large component produced with this method was the Custom die zinc casting machine that made it possible. Today, zinc die castings are used in applications ranging from small screws and gears to large electric motors and commercial equipment. The term “die casting” is normally reserved for metal castings that are poured into reusable molds or die. Zinc die casting offers a number of advantages over sand casting, where molten metal is poured into the sand to create the mold.

The main advantage of die casting over sand casting is that it allows for faster production time and higher output per worker – the average worker pouring casts in the sand could produce about 45 kg/h (100 lbs./h), while a die-cast worker could produce over 2,300 kg/h (5,000 lbs./h). In addition to time savings from the large production increase, zinc die castings are stronger and more resistant to cracking or wearing out than parts produced in sand casting.

Zinc die casting is also great for producing parts with fine detail and high accuracy; both of these characteristics contribute to the complex and precise geometry required for parts like camshafts, small gears, and other components used in motor vehicles.

-Die casting only uses the most durable alloys, making it a great choice for critical metal components that require high strength or precision

-Zinc die castings are resistant to corrosion and other forms of degradation because zinc is naturally resistant to oxidation, which means parts made with this method will last much longer than if they were cast in sand or another metal

-When it comes down to it, die casting is simply the best way to mass-produce pieces that require low volume production times. The reason why so many companies choose this option is that it’s the most cost-effective way to increase output and meet demand quickly
