Zinc die casting alloys offer a combination of characteristics that give it a unique advantage in many die cast applications. These include a combination of strength, ductility, resistance to catastrophic failure, impact strength and finishing characteristics.
Zinc is the heaviest of the three alloy groups that Pace Industries offers. Zinc weighs approximately 2.5 times more than Aluminum and about 3.25 times more than Magnesium. This extra weight is often another unique advantage of zinc. Further, zinc tools typically last between 700,000 and 900,000 shots, depending on the design. With all of these factors and the finishing advantages of Zinc, you can see why this might be the right metal choice for your part.
Pace Industries offers a variety of zinc die casting approaches that range from the ability to produce small, miniature zinc die castings to larger, conventional castings. Pace has three divisions that offer Zinc production. Our B&C Division, located in Harrison, AR, has small Techmire machines for miniature zinc die castings, as well as conventional zinc die casting machines ranging from 50 to 150 ton. The Cambridge Division, located in North Billerica, MA, offers conventional sized machines ranging from 250 to 650 ton. Our St. Paul Division, in St. Paul, MN, also offers conventional zinc die castings with machines that range from 25 ton to 500 ton. All three divisions offer an array of secondary and value-added services to provide you a completely finished and assembled product.
