Zinc alloys are primarily based on zinc, with added elements such as aluminum, copper, and magnesium.
Key Characteristics:
• Low melting point
• Good fluidity
• Easy to die cast
• Suitable for mass production
Thread Machining Characteristics
Chips may change from:
• Flaky
to:
• Strip-shaped
This may cause:
• Reduced HSS machinability
• Difficulty breaking chips at the ends of blind hole threads
• Chip accumulation at thread ends
• Thread gauge failure
• Thread burrs
