The advantages of zinc alloy die-casting mold
.Products available to higher dimensional accuracy
.Die life of up to more than 20 million times
.Can reduce the proportion of post-processing mechanism
.Suitable for mass production
Features and Benefits of zinc alloy die-casting products
.Excellent mechanical value
.Finished dimensions of high stability and accuracy good ( Up to 0.03 mm )
.With excellent surface quality, to avoid additional surface treatment program
.Thin sections of high tensile strength and excellent
.Low production costs
.Through the hot chamber casting with a high production rate
.Lower investment cost through simple production process
.Frame mode and low cost
.Flexible production speed: low speed, in general, or high-speed production rate is possible
.Excellent anti-corrosion characteristics
