How can you tell the difference between Aluminium and zinc?

Application in automotive die-casting

In modern automotive manufacturing, aluminium and zinc, as two common die-casting materials, each have unique properties and application scenarios. As a professional manufacturer of zinc alloy and aluminum alloy die-casting, DMMold is dedicated to providing high-quality customized die-castings for the automotive industry. By deeply understanding the properties of aluminium and zinc, DMMold is able to select the most suizinc alloy product amplifier1_55table materials for production based on the specific needs of customers, ensuring that every component meets high quality standards.

Basic properties of aluminium and zinc

Both aluminium and zinc are light metals with excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, but they differ significantly in density, strength and processing performance. The density of aluminium is relatively low, approximately 2.7 g/cm³, while that of zinc is relatively high, approximately 7.14 g/cm³. This means that under the same volume, zinc products are much heavier than aluminium products. In addition, aluminium has relatively low strength and hardness, but it has good ductility and plasticity, making it suitable for complex processing. Zinc has relatively high strength and hardness, but its ductility is poor, making it suitable for manufacturing structural components and wear-resistant parts.

Aluminum alloy and zinc alloy in automotive die casting

DMMold's aluminum alloy die-castings are widely used in automotive manufacturing, especially for manufacturing key components such as engine mounts, transmission cases, and hydraulic valves. The lightweight property of aluminium alloy enables cars to maintain high performance while effectively reducing fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, the excellent thermal and electrical conductivity of aluminium alloy makes it an ideal material for automotive electronic components. DMMold adopts advanced die-casting technology to ensure that every aluminum alloy die-casting part can achieve high precision and high reliability.


Zinc alloy is widely used in the appearance and functional parts of automobiles, such as wheels, bumpers, door handles, etc., due to its high strength and good wear resistance. The corrosion resistance of zinc alloy enables it to maintain good performance under harsh environmental conditions. DMMold's zinc alloy die-castings, through precise mold design and advanced surface treatment processes, ensure that the products meet customers' high standards in both appearance and performance.
