Zamak Casting Capabilities at S&V Industries 

At S&V Industries, we understand the critical role that high-quality materials play in your manufacturing process. That’s why we have established a robust network of trusted suppliers who specialize in producing various grades of Zamak castings. Our commitment to excellence ensures that you receive only the best products to meet your specific needs. 

What is Zamak? 

Zamak, a family of alloys with a base of zinc and alloying elements of aluminum, magnesium, and copper, is renowned for its excellent casting properties, strength, and durability. It’s widely used in industries ranging from automotive to electronics due to its precision, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. 

Our suppliers provide a range of Zamak grades, each tailored to meet diverse industrial applications: 

• Zamak 2: Known for its high strength and hardness, making it ideal for applications requiring exceptional mechanical properties. 

• Zamak 3: The most commonly used grade, offering a good balance of strength, ductility, and ease of casting. 

• Zamak 5: Provides better creep resistance and tensile strength than Zamak 3, making it suitable for more demanding applications. 

• Zamak 7: Offers superior ductility and better surface finish, perfect for applications requiring precision and fine details. 

Zamak Casting Processes 

Our suppliers use several main methods to produce high-quality Zamak castings, each offering distinct advantages. Die casting, the most prevalent, ensures high precision, rapid production rates, and consistency for large volumes. Permanent mold casting utilizes durable molds to provide good mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness for medium to high volumes. Centrifugal casting produces high-density parts with enhanced strength, ideal for cylindrical or symmetrical components. Investment casting excels in precision, producing complex shapes with fine details and excellent surface finishes. These are just a few of the main processes available. For specific application requirements, contact S&V Industries to ensure you receive the optimal casting method for your Zamak parts, guaranteeing performance and cost-efficiency.
