ZA-27(ZNAL27CU2,ZP2720)

ZA-27 is the strongest of all the ZAMAK and ZA alloys with a reported yield strength of 55 ksi.  It is also the lightest alloy available and has excellent bearing and wear performance.  Additional care is needed when casting this alloy to ensure a sound casting.  It may also need a stabilization heat treatment if tight dimensional tolerances are required.  ZA-27 is not recommended for plating.  When brute strength or wear resistant properties are needed, ZA-27 has demonstrated extraordinary performance.  This alloy along with ZA-12 must be cast in a cold chamber die casting machine due to the higher aluminum content and higher melting temperature.

The appropriate industry:

 

Environmentally friendly die-cast zinc alloy -ZA-27# is widely used in many fields, including but not limited to:

  • Automotive manufacturing: used to manufacture the shell, valve rod and other key parts of the automotive transmission system to ensure the performance and safety of the vehicle.
  • Electronic products: In the electronics industry, Zamak 2 is often used to manufacture electronic equipment housings, plugs and other components, to protect the internal circuit from the external environment.
  • Other industrial fields: In addition, the alloy is also used in the manufacture of door locks, handles, pull rings, zippers and other hardware accessories, as well as mechanical parts, tools, etc.

 

Performance feature:

  • This product meets the standards of China, the United States and the European Union;Comply with ROHS, EN71Part3, EN1811, CPSIA and other requirements;
  • Low remelting temperature, less slag content, and fine internal crystallization;
  • Good physical and mechanical properties, castability, dimensional stability and creep resistance.

 

Method of application

  • Bake and dry before use. Do not stir or dredge when feeding.The scum above the molten liquid is stirred calmly with a slag rake to collect it and remove it;
  • The nozzle material according to the ratio of 25%-30% input, no need to slag;
  • The best die casting temperature: 525℃-580℃, the best mold temperature: 210℃-230℃.The upper limit of die-casting temperature is recommended for thin-walled parts and complex parts, and the lower limit is recommended for thick-walled parts and simple parts.
  • The following phenomena may exist in the use process: there is a thin oil film on the surface of the alloy liquid, and there will be a small amount of black film, which is a normal phenomenon.
