Key Features: Corrosion resistance • Lightweight • Dimensional stability

The ADC12 aluminium is more often used as an alternative for the A380 aluminium for parts that are highly intricate.

Key Features: Excellent machinability • Easy casting • Hot cracking resistance

The A380 Aluminium gives an excellent combination of machinability, heat transfer and easy casting together with other properties.

Key Features: Corrosion resistance • Thermal conductivity • Impact resistance • High ductility

Magnesium AZ91D is a lightweight and high-strength magnesium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance.

Key Features: Relatively high ductility • High fluidity

Zamak 7 has higher fluidity than the rest of the Zamak family alloys which makes it ideal for special hardware components.

Key Features: Excellent machinability • Improved strength • Low ductility

The higher copper content gives Zamak 5 an improved strength but is less ductile than Zamak 3.

Key Features: Ductile • Flexibility • Excellent corrosion resistant • Durable

Zamak 4 brings an improvement to the mould sticking problems faced with Zamak 3.

Key Features: High Strength • Hardness • Machinability

Compared to the other members of the Zamak family of metals, Zamak 2 is the highest in terms of tensile strength, hardness and creep resistance.

Key Features: Dimensional stability • Outstanding finishing characteristics

Zamak 3 is the most commonly used in the Zamak family. It blends its physical and mechanical properties excellently.
