UNS No. Z35840 is a zinc-aluminum-copper alloy that offers exceptionally high strength (58,000 to 64,000 psi tensile strength as cast) at modest cost. It performs best in thin-walled castings (down to 0.10 inch) which means reduced weight and lower material costs when castings are redesigned. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fracture toughness, creep, and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-44. Producer or source: Zinc alloy producers.

UNS No. Z35630 is a zinc-aluminum-copper foundry alloy recommended for general-purpose castings of high strength at moderate cost. It was designed for use in nonferrous foundries to compete with cast-iron, bronze, brass and aluminum castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as casting, forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-43. Producer or source: Zinc alloy producers.

UNS No. Z35635 is a zinc-aluminum-copper-magnesium foundry alloy recommended for castings of moderate strength and low cost. It was designed for use in nonferrous permanent-mold foundries to compete with cast-iron, aluminum and bronze castings. The alloy can be sand cast and die cast. Its many uses include hardware, valves, implement components and equipment for liquid fuel transfer because it is non-sparking. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as casting, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-42. Producer or source: Zinc alloy producers.

Tg-12 Zinc Alloy is the general-purpose, zinc-aluminum-copper foundry alloy. It can be sand, permanent-mold or die cast, has a modest cost and a tensile strength suitable for many applications where bronze and cast or malleable iron were traditionally used. Tg-12 is extremely resistant to galling, has natural lubricity and is thus well suited to lubricated bearing and bushing applications. Tg-12 is particularly well suited to liquid and gas-pressure applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and shear strength as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on casting, forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-37. Producer or source: Texasgulf Inc..

ZA-27 is a zinc-aluminum-copper alloy that offers exceptionally high strength (58,000 to 64,000 psi tensile strength as cast) at modest cost. It performs best in thin-walled castings (down to 0.10 inch) which means reduced weight and lower material costs when castings are redesigned. It is similar to the general-purpose ZA-12 alloy (Alloy Digest Zn-31, September 1977) except for its higher strength and elongation, but with higher casting temperatures and poor heavy-section castability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, tensile properties, and shear strength as well as fracture toughness and creep. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as casting, forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-32.

ZA-12 is a zinc-aluminum-copper foundry alloy recommended for general-purpose castings of high strength at moderate cost. Its properties are similar to those of cast iron; however, it was designed for use in nonferrous foundries to compete with cast-iron, bronze, brass and aluminum castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive and shear strength as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance as well as casting, forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Zn-31.

DI-METAL 3 is a zinc-base alloy of high fluidity capable of producing fine detail in die castings. It is the most stable of the zinc die casting alloys, but on aging loses about 20% of its tensile strength with practically no impact drop. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, tensile properties, and shear strength as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as casting, forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Zn-3.
