Achieving Net Shape with Zinc Die Casting

When to Choose Zinc Die Casting

In die cast manufacturing, choosing the right material is an important first step in the design process. When considering the varied materials for your next design, zinc emerges as an option for a multitude of reasons. A key factor to consider is zinc's ability to achieve net shape in die casting.

What Does Net Shape Mean?

The concept of “net shape” is an important consideration in part design. A typical goal in one’s part design is to include many features and geometry into a part and reduce the number of parts.

Often fewer parts will result in a more effective design and lower cost solution since there is less to manufacture and join. Ultimately, it is a better design and solution for all as there are fewer parts to buy, inventory, and assembly.

The design of a zinc castings can align well with “net shape” objectives as this manufacturing process allows for feature designs that have various depths and is 3-dimensional vs a design of a stamping that is flat and limited.

Achieving Net Shape with Fluidity

One of zinc's standout characteristics is its remarkable fluidity when melted, it is similar to water. This property allows for the creation of parts that are complex and intricate and thus eliminating the need for extensive secondary operations or machining. Zinc's versatility extends to its ability to accommodate tight corners and thin wall conditions. This makes zinc die casting an excellent choice for design flexibility. This feature empowers designers to bring intricate concepts to life.

Easier Fastening and Joining of Parts

Zinc casting can also incorporate fastening/joining features into the part and thus minimize or eliminate the need for welding or the use of additional screws, etc.

For example, zinc die castings are well-aligned with industries requiring parts like fittings for fluid transportation. Zinc alloy parts can have threads cast-in and thus minimizes the need for secondary machining, saving both time and resources. Additionally, zinc part can have features designed in to act as a fastening rivet. The material can be formed to provide a “staked” join and thus eliminate the need for a fastener all together.

Strength Beyond Comparison

Zinc stands strong among moldable materials, surpassing the strength of alternatives like plastic or aluminum. When you are striving to meet precise design specifications, zinc delivers the resilience required. The decision to switch to zinc hinges on the specific needs of your products or parts. If strength, especially for tensile or fatigue, is a critical requirement, zinc is a common choice for improved performance.

Cost-Efficiency for Complex Assemblies

In situations where cost savings are crucial, consider the shift from steel stamping and welding to zinc die casting. As part usage increases, the cost justification for zinc die-cast parts becomes increasingly evident. Integrating essential details directly into the part streamlines the process.

Zinc processes faster than other materials, enabling you to produce parts more quickly. Therefore, impacting the bottom line of a design compared to other materials.

Investigate the Potential

For manufacturers seeking cost reduction, improved quality, or decreased reliance on secondary operations, it is worthwhile to explore zinc.

Dave Magner, Director of Sales, and Marketing at Deco Products was interviewed on the video podcast, Small Business Talks. Dave provided insights into the zinc die casting process. He emphasizes the advantages of Zinc, such as its strength, fluidity, and net shape capabilities. Listen here: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3a3fz-154e6d7

High-volume parts are particularly suitable for zinc casting, given its exceptional tooling lifespan compared to aluminum.

Size Matters

While zinc can accommodate parts up to 24 inches in length, it is especially ideal for those weighing under a pound. For smaller parts, around four inches or less, zinc is well suited.

is this your card? ♦️♣️♥️♠️ it isnt but you dont wanna hurt his feelings

#this was supposed to be a warmup but i got carried away.... i havent drawn in so long that its been hard to focus orz #im testing a new brush for fun. again.. i think i can use this for clean lineart..?? im surprised i went as long as i did with the #narinder brush honestly... but i wanna try something new so here we are again #if i could get my shit together id love to draw a model of his van because i have smth really cool in mind..i was looking at pictures #of old wooden caravans like the horse drawn ones and i wonder if i could combine that with the shape of an RV #i like the ones with a door at the rear bc it kinda lookslike a train caboose.. maybe he'd get someone to weld him a custom ride!!#idk how intricate and detailed i can design it without making it a pain in the ass to draw every time BUT i have a general idea #it would probably have a door on the side but idk if itd flip down to make a stage or upwards to make a roof?? and then theres a #curtain behind it where he would come out and do his show methinks.. ive been looking at pictures of camping vans on pinterest for ideas #i dont think he LIVES in the van since i mentioned his home is an old run down theatre when he isnt on the road. i wanna draw that too #but the RV should have enough for long travels like a bed and cabinets..? maybe a net hanging on the ceiling where all his props go #id like to think of ideas for a hometown.. toronto has a huge entertainment district so it would make sense for him to live there #although id also love to base parts of it from vancouver since id love to go back and visit </3 #..would there be furth names for those places?? nyancouver... clawronto... whinnypeg (like a horse whinny)...#pawson creek.... purrlington... otterwa.. i love coming up with names lol #my art #myart #my oc #oc #sleight #laikas comet oc #fan character #fur #furry art

#art #i was brewing up a complicated picture in my head too many factors intermingling and i put a requirement on myself that i would need to #feel a certain mood to create said picture cuz only then would it feel good and true but it was an impossible to achieve mood #and it made me miserable for a week i went to bed as soon as possible everyday to skip to the next one but today i woke up at 2am #and thought well maybe i should just draw something simple that i like it doesnt have to be high concept #so its just darkrai!!!! cuz its such a cooly! and its made out of shapes ive enjoyed drawing recently #smoking fire plumelike stuff u kno...#and i got to try out the spraypaint thing again cuz there was stuff i realized i coulda done better after the red 3 head hybrid pic #so i wanted to do it again. do u like these- with the spraypaint rendering? i will make more of them no matter what u say #but im about to go to bed now. i started the pic at 11am and finished at 8pm so 9hrs spent?! well the stenciling takes a long while in pain #i did the spraying in ms paint again and then composited it in paint net like usually.#also im typing much because the combination of coffee (which i try to make special and rare for me so it hits more cutely)#+ the euphoria that drawing gives me makes me talkative. but now.- ! im tired !! goodnight #pokemon #darkrai

Art delayed due to me losing my glasses in a freak go karting accident. I'm not kidding, I am so blind without my glasses, and I only have my prescription sunglasses now.

Here's what I was working on, and very much intend to finish once I have new glasses.

This is referencing the classic baphomet pose, btw. I guess you can also see my current process with this? I've been working with lighter to darker colours, making the shapes cleaner as I go. It also means the colours look nice.

I am furious that I can't currently do the cross hatching I like, without my glasses. I have to be literally 10cm from the pages to draw accurately. Literally FINALLY got to a point in which I'm happy with an art piece, and now I CANT DRAW IT.

#went go karting for my friends bday and had a great time #sad that i cut it short by losing my helmet glasses and hair net in a crash #those helmets were DANGEROUSLY loose. i was wearing the smallest size. ive left a scathing review and reported them to work safe #the helmet issue is the tip of the iceberg with safety there #anyways lol #dungeon meshi spoilers #almost art #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #winged lion #religious imagery #cw religious imagery #cw caps #idk why ryoko made him so shapely but it gives me more places to add excessive detail so i dont mind #dungeon meshi fanart #delicious in dungeon fanart #winged lion fanart #i was second by 0.2 seconds btw. i swear on my life i wouldve won if i didnt almost lose my head

I was watching a rant video about a truly awful (but popular on tiktok) Dark Romance hockey novel series, and they said "by USA Today & Amazon bestselling author C.R. Jane" and I had to do a double take at the name 💀

Stay tuned for my next story in which I force every public domain horror story's cast onto the ice where they alternate between bloodshed, scoring points, and scoring each other xxxooo

#a poorly Photoshopped image of Dracula Gary Oldman is on the cover to assure readers it's all about Count Fuckula doing his Count Fuckuling #only for Quincey to immediately stake him with a hockey stick while Jonathan decapitates him with his skates #Carmilla and Laura take turns between soliloquizing and making out in the audience #Hyde is breaking every rule in the game and whacking people over the head with his stick #just before Frankenstein's Creature personally pummels him into puck-shape and whacks him into the net #it's a fun time

My sense of humour is so so stupid

I have a shadowy version of me in my head that is way more sarcastic and down to earth and sceptic and serious and she banters with me

#my flavour of insanity but its just strawberry tea upside down pouring into a water fountain #creating a red flow of water from upside to the crystal clear #there is a net all square shaped around the fountain oreventing mosquitis from flowing into it #besties is that something someone neurotypical would say

thank god the hanks of 0/11 seed beads i need to make my decorative ren faire chain mail are only $4.50 each bc I just had to buy the rest of their stock to make sure I’d have enough

#i think i might have enough time to make a ‘chain mail’ overskirt of a beaded netting i just need to make sure i have ENOUGH #i’m going through them so quickly and i’m only partway through with one of the arm covers!! and i’ll need more for the chest plate!#zoe stuff #i need to figure out a tag for this stuff bc i’m literally teaching myself how to make the idea that’s in my head #it’s 4 different kinds of visible beads (and 1 invisible/for structure)#it’s figuring out that i need to prioritize glass beads bc they won’t heat up to the same extent as other materials #(for the weather)#it’s scouring the internet for paillette sequins that look like stamped metal for scale armor so it’s not heavy like real metal #it’s using jewelry wire of different gages to reinforce and get things to hold their shape #i’m having SO much fun but wow if i were going to sell what i’m making it would be $600 easy #i don’t want to talk about how much money i’ve spent on the materials #ren tag #okay good enough

nobody tells you this about getting into sports but once you like one sport you start liking all sports like i keep getting baseball videos on my feed and sitting here like damn fr these guys are dope as hell. seeing kids play hockey like fuck i should do that. i dont need MORE hobbies!

#instagram and youtube saw me watch tennis videos and now they keep giving me just every sport imaginable #like yeah sure man ill watch curling highlights idgaf #<- okay to be fair ive been a curling enjoyer since day one i dont follow it but its soooo fun. too much unwarranted hate #anyways shoutout to bat boys baseball on instagram i dont know what theyre saying ever but im always sat for their videos #this is a net good tho because i am so out of shape so i really should take up a sport #edit this post is realer than i thot cause when i was writing it i was like hm but i dont get s lot of football content #which is fine by me idc about them #but i opened instagram back up and guess what. now im watching some guy play football #tbf ive seen his videos before but only non sports related ones so??
