What is Zamac?

Zamac is an alloy of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium and Copper, widely used in injection and centrifugal processes for the manufacture of hardware, jewelry, costume jewelry, automotive sector and coating of industrial equipment.

These alloys are highly sensitive to impurities, especially tin, lead, and cadmium. For this reason, at Conalsol we exclusively use 99.995% pure Special High Grade Zinc, along with pure aluminum and magnesium, and electrolytic copper.

Aluminum improves mechanical properties and hardness, as well as increasing fluidity. Copper contributes to greater tensile strength and corrosion resistance. Magnesium, although in small proportions (0.1% to 0.15%), provides significant stability and inhibits intergranular corrosion.

Available compositions

Alloy Melting point Typical application
Zamac 410 (Zamac 5) 380–386°C Injection – high resistance
Zamac 400 (Zamac 3) 381–387°C Injection – general use
Zamac 430 (Zamac 2) 379–390°C Centrifugation
Zamac 431 379–390°C Centrifugation
Zamac 331 379–390°C Centrifugation
ℹ️ Each Zamac product is optimized for a specific process (injection molding or centrifugal casting). The correct selection depends on the manufacturing method and the mechanical requirements of the final part.

Relevant technical properties

High fluidity
Aluminum improves flowability, making it easier to fill complex molds.
Mechanical resistance
Copper provides tensile strength and hardness

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

The injection molding grades (Zamac 3, Zamac 5) are optimized for high flowability and pressure mold filling. The spin molding grades (Zamac 2, 431, 331) have compositions tailored for lower-pressure processes with greater dimensional control.

Zamac alloys are extremely sensitive to impurities such as tin, lead, and cadmium, which can cause intergranular corrosion and embrittlement. The use of 99.995% pure zinc alloys eliminates this risk.

Yes. Its excellent surface finish makes it ideal for chrome plating, nickel plating, and other electrochemical baths used in hardware, jewelry, and costume jewelry.
