Zinc Alloy | Suitable for 3D Effects, Complex Designs, and Large
Die casting is an advanced metalworking technology widely used for manufacturing complex designs and large products. This process primarily uses zinc alloy, which, when melted at high temperatures, is injected into pre-made molds and solidifies into the desired shape upon cooling. The entire process includes several critical steps to ensure product quality and precision.
Firstly, the zinc alloy is melted at high temperatures, offering excellent fluidity and strength to evenly fill all parts of the mold, forming intricate and complex structures. The molten zinc alloy is then injected into the mold using an injection mechanism. The mold, typically made of high-strength steel, withstands high temperatures and pressures, and its interior is pre-engraved with the product's design shape to ensure the final product's dimensional accuracy and surface quality. The cooling phase is crucial in the die casting process. The molten zinc alloy in the mold gradually solidifies during cooling, forming the desired product shape. Cooling speed must be strictly controlled to prevent internal stress and deformation of the material, ensuring the product's mechanical properties and dimensional stability. The finished semi-products then proceed to coloring or surface treatment stages.
Die casting is suitable for high-precision 3D designs and the manufacturing of irregular shapes. Its advantage lies in the ability to easily create complex double-sided patterns and internal hollow structures, meeting diverse design requirements. This process is particularly suitable for producing dynamic or movable parts, such as combination badges and functional badges, and can provide reserved positions for adding LED lights, sliders, rotating discs, and rolling parts.
