Zinc Base Die Castings

Abstract

The object of this research is to determine the suitability of zinc base die castings for Ordnance requirements. The most significant changes that occur upon aging zinc die castings are in impact values and length. The aluminum-containing zinc-base die-casting with no copper showed the least change in impact and dimensions upon artificial aging at this arsenal. As the copper content increases, the changes that occur on aging increase. The presence of Cd as an impurity accelerates aging causing marked changes in dimensions to occur.
