Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

Zamak’s properties make it ideal for applications requiring intricate designs, durability, and cost-efficient production. Common industries and applications include:

Lighting Industry:

Decorative Components: Zamak is used for ornate lighting fixtures, such as chandeliers, wall sconces, or lamp bases, due to its ability to achieve fine details and high-quality surface finishes (e.g., chrome plating, powder coating).

Hardware and Fittings: Brackets, connectors, and mounting hardware for lighting systems benefit from Zamak’s strength and corrosion resistance.

Smaller Heat Sinks: While aluminum is preferred for LED heat sinks due to superior thermal conductivity, Zamak is occasionally used for smaller, less heat-intensive lighting components where cost and aesthetics are prioritized.

Why Zamak?: Its low melting point (380–420°C) reduces energy costs, and its excellent surface finish supports aesthetic requirements in decorative lighting. 

Automotive Industry:

Components like door handles, locks, brackets, and interior trim parts use Zamak for its strength, lightweight nature (though heavier than aluminum), and ability to be plated or painted.

Example: Carburetor housings and fuel system components.

Electronics and Consumer Goods:

Zamak is used for enclosures, connectors, and housings in devices like cameras, smartphones, and appliances due to its precision and electromagnetic shielding properties.

Example: USB housings, switch plates, or small gears.

Hardware and Tools:

Zamak casting produces durable, precise parts like hinges, latches, and tool components, often with decorative or corrosion-resistant finishes.

Example: Locksets, faucet components, and cabinet knobs.

Furniture and Decor:

Zamak is used for furniture fittings, drawer pulls, and decorative elements due to its ability to mimic more expensive metals like brass when plated.

Medical Devices:

Precision components like surgical tool handles or equipment housings use Zamak for its strength and ability to meet tight tolerances.
