Zinc

A low-melting-point metal suited to fine detail and precision thin-wall features, with natural corrosion resistance.

Example: machined Zinc

What is it?

A low-melting-point metal suited to fine detail and precision thin-wall features, with natural corrosion resistance.

Key behavior

Low melting point makes it easy to cast into intricate thin-walled shapes; also machines reasonably well for CNC applications.

Why choose it

Precision small parts and components needing fine detail, or as a protective galvanizing layer on other metals.

Applications

Precision die-cast components, hardware, galvanizing coatings.

Machining notes

Soft and machines easily, though it's more commonly cast than CNC-machined from solid stock — confirm which process fits the specific part.
