Zinc alloys are widely used in die casting foundry, resulting strongly competitive with aluminum and magnesium alloys for certain applications. The aim of the research is to evaluate the reduction of die-cast components thickness to reveal new application for zinc alloys, retaining the mechanical properties required for the service conditions and the advantages offered by hot chamber die casting. This work reports the correlation existing among casting performance, microstructure and samples thickness.

Abstract

Zinc alloys are widely used in die casting foundry, resulting strongly competitive with aluminum and magnesium alloys for certain applications. The aim of the research is to evaluate the reduction of die-cast components thickness to reveal new application for zinc alloys, retaining the mechanical properties required for the service conditions and the advantages offered by hot chamber die casting. This work reports the correlation existing among casting performance, microstructure and samples thickness.
