The dusk of Stone age gave rise to the new beginning of metal
age which was differentiated between Bronze age, Iron age and Copper age.
Formation of cities, migration of people and commerce had begun during this
era. Metal manufacturing work was in its
crude stage. Banking on a variety of useful factors and metal properties people
used metals extensively even in the past as this made their life much simpler.
They used metals for making utensils and weapons due to its property of
malleability and ductility. And most of all, it is the strongest material. As
days passed this restricted use of metals expanded its dimensions and became
the most essential aspect in our everyday life.
In today’s modern world, even the construction works use
metal as their base and the machines working on spare parts are designed out of
metals. Recognizing the ever growing demand the advancement of technologies
took a stand. Metal manufacturing process
gained a refined process and the crude metal work has now turned into fine and
polished finish as we are now deploying the method of metal die casting. Today,
the use of die casting has been in extensive use to meet the ever increasing
orders as this process can make numerous metal units with uniform structure and
design.
Technique of die casting is a process in which metal spare
parts are made by putting liquefied metal into molds or dies. With this
technique one can easily produce a complicated design with high accuracy. The
die casting method produces parts with fine surface which reduces costs of
remaking or refining the same part. Out of a variety of metal casts like
aluminium cast alloy or magnesium cast alloy, the zinc alloy die casting is
extensively used due to its higher tolerance level. Zinc alloy has a capability
of producing very thin wall casting which ultimately produces much lighter
component with the employment of lower cost.
Zinc casting is widely used for mass production, not only in the
automotive industry but also in electronic equipments. Along with this, it is
also used in various decorative materials as it can be easily polished or
painted or can be given a matt finish to make it more attractive. As zinc has
good conductivity of heat as well as electricity and high tolerance, it is used
in electromagnetic screening. Zinc has a property of self lubricating and is a hard
alloy which are considered as durable properties, hence zinc alloy die
casting is used in making of automobile parts and the gears of any
machine. Its non sparking attribute adds its application in the mining industry
as well as in refineries. The strongest property of zinc alloy is its non toxic
nature that makes it a reusable and recyclable material.
