Zinc is the easiest metal to cast. Zinc has high ductility and high impact strength, It is easily plated and promotes long die life.

Zinc’s excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as precise casting tolerances, make it an ideal material choice f.e. for components of carbureted engine. Zinc can be cast at moderate temperatures thus providing significant energy and processing savings over other metals and engineering alloys. Because of zinc’s density , cast zinc provide a feel of substance and durability that simply cannot be matched by plastic components.
