Material Advantage

Zinc die casting alloys offer a number of design advantages and often provide cost savings over screw machine parts, stampings or other molding processes. Moreover, these alloys offer mechanical and physical properties that exhibit excellent heat-transfer capability and electrical conductivity. Zinc alloys also feature excellent damping capacity and machinability. When proper design is combined with effective part processing, zinc die castings accept a wide variety of surface finishes for enhanced corrosion protection, aesthetic appeal and engineering properties.

Available Alloys
  • ZAMAK 2, 3, 5 & 7
  • ZA8 alloy
  • EZAC

MCC provides the ultimate cast-to-size technology for precision high-volume production.

Alloy Types and Information

There are two basic alloy families used in MCC's hot-chamber casting process, Zamak Alloys and ZA. Over the past several years, Eastern Alloys (the primary source for zinc die casting alloys in the US) has developed and released a new, high performance alloy called Ezac™ to support requirements for better strength and creep performance in higher temperature applications. MCC has been successful with integration of this alloy and proudly offers it as an option.
