General Information: Zinc |
||
Zinc is a relatively cheap element. Zn alloys have an excellent castability, related with their low melting temperatures, and are therefore perfectly fit for casting from sand casting to injection moulding. Very low wall thicknesses are achievable and the surface hardly requires any after-treatment. Zn alloys offer a good corrosion resistance, especially against rain. The strength of Zn alloys is relatively low, and their tendency to creep makes them unsuitable for use at temperatures above 100C. The low price and good casting properties justify the application in mass-production by injection moulding. |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
