Porosity in Zinc Die Casting
You have designed an innovative part with tight tolerances. Your design looks perfect in your initial drawings. However, there is one invisible challenge that can compromise even the best designs: porosity in zinc die casting. Zinc die casting porosity is air trapped within a die-cast part in an unwanted location. This air weakens structural integrity […]
Mold Flow Simulation
The Die Casting Mold Die casting is a manufacturing process that allows manufactures to produce parts with three-dimensional shapes efficiently. The process involves injecting molten metal into die cavities at high pressure using a die casting machine. The molten zinc quickly cools and solidifies, taking on the exact shape of the die cavity. Then the […]
How Zinc is a Good Corrosion Resistant Metal
When selecting materials for die casting, key considerations often include the strength, longevity, and if it is a corrosion resistance metal. Zinc die casting is a popular choice when these factors are critical, but one common question arises: Does zinc rust? And more importantly, is zinc a corrosion resistant metal? Does Zinc Rust or Corrode? […]
