Casting Zinc Alloy Material Grades
We offer a range of high-quality zinc alloy materials for die casting. Each alloy possesses unique properties suitable for various industries.
Zamak 3
Zamak 3 is the most common zinc die casting alloy in North America. Usually the first choice when considering an alloy for zinc die casting due to its excellent combination of mechanical and physical properties, and superb casting and finishing ability.
Zamak 2
Within the Zamak family of zinc die casting alloys, Zamak 2 has the highest strength and hardness due to its higher copper content (3%). Also known as Kirksite when making tooling for the stamping or plastic injection mold industries.
Zamak 5
Commonly used zinc die casting alloy throughout the world due to its combination of strength, ductility and fluidity. The 1% additional copper added to the alloy improves the alloy’s mechanical properties.
Zamak 7
Although magnesium is a useful element to combat corrosion effects of the alloy due to certain impurities, it was also found to reduce the alloy’s fluidity. In this alloy, nickel replaced magnesium, which helped improve the fluidity and casting ability of the alloy. The properties are similar to Zamak 3 with enhanced fluidity.
ZA-8
Zinc alloy with 8% aluminum. The most common of the ZA alloys due to its combination of strength, casting ability (cast in a hot chamber machine), and is often electro-plated.
ZA-12
ZA-12 has an excellent combination of mechanical properties and casting ability. Due to its elevated aluminum content this alloy is cast in a cold chamber die casting machine.
ZA-27
Zinc alloy with 27% aluminum. This higher aluminum content offers an alloy with exceptional mechanical properties as well as the lowest density of all the zinc die casting alloys.
EZAC
Zinc die casting alloy with the highest strength, hardness and creep resistance, along with exceptional fluidity.
ACuZinc
A zinc die casting alloy developed in the 1990’s by General Motors. ACuZinc is a zinc based alloy with approximately 5% copper and 3% aluminum. The combination AL/Cu/Zn in this alloy produces castings with exceptional mechanical and physical properties.
ZP0410
ZP0410 is a reliable and versatile zinc alloy that provides a good balance of properties for many die casting applications in the automotive, electronics and hardware industries.
ZP0430
ZP0430 is often referred to as ZP2 or Zamak 2. It’s a zinc alloy known for its exceptional strength and hardness.
BERIC
Superior zinc-based alloy in terms of wear resistance, tensile strength, hardness, and mechanical properties.

Zinc Alloy Die Casting Plant
Elimold’s die casting plant in Shenzhen, China, boasts over 100 die casting machines in a 150,000 square foot facility with clamping forces ranging from 14 to 2,000 tons. This allows us to partner with leading companies seeking superior capacity and versatility while maintaining competitive pricing. We utilize both standard and custom-designed high-pressure die casting (HPDC) equipment. As the company grows, we continuously expand our production capacity to ensure we can meet diverse physical requirements. Currently, our annual zinc die casting parts production capacity exceeds 12 million pounds. The company continues to invest in new die casting equipment to further expand our capacity. We employ cutting-edge die casting technology to provide our customers with superior products.
Precision of Custom Zinc Alloy Die Casting Parts
Zinc die casting offers superior tolerances compared to aluminum and magnesium die casting. Elimold’s zinc die casting achieves repeatability of less than ±0.001 inches for small parts, a precision often comparable to machining. Few other processes can easily achieve such high net-shape accuracy. Many parts can be achieved net-shape through die casting without further machining. Due to zinc’s high-precision casting properties, many complex components can be redesigned and integrated into a single complex net-shape casting, significantly reducing costs.

Thin-Wall Zinc Alloy Casting Production Capability
All zinc die-casting alloys possess excellent casting fluidity, enabling superior thin-wall casting performance regardless of the casting process employed. At Elimold, we custom-make zinc die-castings with a minimum wall thickness of 0.040 inches (compared to 0.060 inches for aluminum die-castings). However, with our continuous improvement in die-casting and alloying technologies, we are now able to produce die-castings with wall thicknesses as low as 0.008 inches. Furthermore, zinc’s thin-walled characteristics and high strength allow us to manufacture zinc parts with the same strength and weight as aluminum die-castings, while also offering a cost advantage.

Quality Assurance
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every zinc die-cast part undergoes rigorous testing and quality control measures to ensure it meets or exceeds industry standards and customer expectations. Therefore, Elimold’s quality management team develops a personalized inspection plan for each part number to measure the effectiveness of our manufacturing processes. Simple parts require only basic inspections, while more complex parts require more comprehensive checks. We maintain a detailed database documenting every step we inspect throughout the entire process. This covers the entire manufacturing cycle—from liquid zinc to finished product. Each production stage has its unique inspection criteria to verify that we meet the specific requirements for that part. For example, we inspect casting, finishing, pouring, vibration finishing, and any machining processes.
