Tell you the cost of aluminum alloy die castings and zinc alloy die castings

　　At present, zinc aluminum alloy die castings have different uses in daily production and life. The raw material prices of zinc ingots and aluminum ingots vary greatly. Generally, zinc ingots are about 2000 yuan more expensive per ton than aluminum ingots. The density and melting point of zinc alloy die castings are also significantly different from those of aluminum alloy die castings.

　　Many companies now want to replace zinc alloy with aluminum alloy in order to save costs, but some cannot be replaced because zinc alloy has much better strength, hardness, and formability than aluminum alloy.

　　If your product surface needs to be polished and electroplated, and requires high appearance quality, then you have to use zinc alloy. It is difficult to achieve high surface quality requirements for aluminum alloy materials because aluminum alloy die-casting performance is poor, and there are many pores on the surface of the product, resulting in poor surface quality after electroplating. So, what kind of raw material to use for die-casting your product depends on your ability to balance the effects and performance requirements that your product needs to achieve.

　　From the above description, it can be seen that whether to make zinc alloy die-casting parts with low cost or aluminum alloy die-casting parts with low cost depends on your product structure and process requirements. If the structure and die-casting process allow, of course, using aluminum alloy material is cost-effective. However, considering product performance and yield rate, choosing zinc alloy will have lower cost
