The 3-piece bayonet XT -A is assembled into a circular piece and provided with a cover plate. The part is designed so that it dissipates, together with an inlay heatsink , the heat generated by the installed LED ( 60-80°C ) . The casting challenge is to achieve defect...
This range of pens – the “Golf” series – is characterized by clean lines, and by an antique appearance produced by symbols in fine relief on the surface. The thin castings – wall thickness 0.7 mm – have enabled the total weight to...
Elta’s faucet construction is known as shell technology. It features a die-cast zinc cover, or escutcheon, over a brazed copper and brass assembly. The thin zinc cover is much more uniform than brass; it provides near net shape die casting with tolerances of 0.005...
Part cast with Zincopor(R) technology which resulted in a weight reduction of 25%. With an annual production rate of 235,000 part/year, this represents a 10 tonnes reduction of zinc alloy.
Key benefits: Outstanding control of each step and parameters involved in the full process i.e. from design to final part to achieve “the perfection” Same surface quality and appearance obtained on all the 6 cast parts of this assembly Fingers print surface free !!...
This series of cigarette lighters consists of a range of different models, each of which appeals to the individual taste of the user. The most prestigious models are given appropriate names – Golf, Nantes, Macito, Connubio, Mississipi, Gigolò, … The...
The wide choice of decorative finishes for zinc alloys – which may be colour contrasted with other materials – is a major asset when designing luxury goods. The designer Christian Dior made good use of this capability in creating this remarkable compact. The...
The Accent range of wiring accessories launched by MK Electric last year makes extensive use of zinc pressure diecasting and the highest standards in both painted and plated finishes to achieve a combination of slim-line good looks and high quality feel. A mix and...
This casting part was originally produced in die-cast aluminum. It could be produced only with disproportionate effort and high scrap rates. The parting plane in the casting could never reach the surface quality standards because at that position was a vacuum...
In both residential and commercial construction projects, architects are frequently asked to design large windows and sliding glass doors. Sliding doors must be easy and comfortable to operate from either inside or outside and it must be possible to lock them. Zinc...
The 9,5 kg zamak housing of this designer coffee machine is made from 8 zinc pressure die cast parts with weights between 2,2 kg and 75 gr. The parts are powder coated. To avoid any bubbles during thermal curing of the paint, the parts are vacuum cast to avoid gas...
The most famous Parisian jeweller, “”Boucheron””, has created a perfume, with a particularly outstanding design of bottle – an enlargement of a ring. The blue cap symbolises a cut stone whilst the bottle itself is supported in a fine...
This design opener can open all kind of bottles without any damage and with very little effort. With its innovative patented mechanism , this tool won the Bundespreis 2016 award in Germany. Reasons for choosing zinc alloy: ZP5 was chosen over other materials for its...
Zinc alloy pressure die castings in alloy Z 410 (BS1004B) are used to produce a wide range of light fittings varying from small individual lights, to multi-light chandeliers. A selection of lights shown here, ranging from small bronze plated lights, gold plated...
The main feature of this lock design is that the handle is cast with a cylindrical shaped wall, but is then post formed to a spherical shape. If the Alloy 3 used for this casting did not have high ductility, the final shape could not be achieved and the pressure...
Warner Gear’s 4WD locking hub takes advantage of ZA-8’s net shape castability, creep resistance and excellent finishing characteristics to provide a highly functional and aesthetic cover. ZA-8 alloy was chosen because it handles temperatures close to 200...
Initially, the hub–two intersecting cylinders–was a brazed assembly. Cylinders were screw machined from solid brass. Operations included turning, drilling, internal milling, cut-off and rolling of one cylinder end to accept a plastic transition piece. The...
The part : This set of six parts, four of which are made of Zamak, makes up a rechargeable perfume vaporiser. The manufacturing : Some characteristics of the final product : – complexity of the assembly compared with the available space, – combination of...
This design high-end remote control has tactile control without any knobs. The zamak surface was cast to a thickness of 0,6mm with less than 0,05mm tolerance on thickness. Piezo elements translate the bending of the surface into electric signals. Casting of the part...
Zinc die casting can help to create a gracious atmosphere for entertaining, when used in the form of prestige tableware, where good shape and meticulous finish are both important. The wide range of excellent surface finishes rely on both the experience of platers and...
Special features: precise recording, splash water protection for installation components, ensuring a circumferential wall fitting, uniform mold filling at heterogeneous wall thicknesses, short delay part : structurally specified wall thickness differences required...
The instrument incorporates two frames, one for the front panel and another in the rear. Originally the frames were designed as welded aluminium extrusions. In search of alternative methods, the manufacturer looked to zinc graphite permanent mould casting with its low...
For three generations, B-V has been producing heavy-duty, specialty hand punches from two sand-cast malleable iron halves. Sand casting inaccuracies required sorting and extensive fitting to locate matching halves. Thickness variations up to 0.025 in. were encountered...
