Lower
Total Acquisition Cost
The Isotech precision casting process uses graphite molds to produce
net and near net shape parts in ZA-12 zinc/aluminum alloy. It is an
economical alternative to sand, die, and investment casting; machining;
and, in some cases, plastic injection molding for production quantities
of 300 to 20,000 parts per year.
Rapid Turnaround and Reduced Time-to-Market
The exceptional machinability of graphite
dramatically shortens the time needed to produce molds. And, the
high accuracy and exceptional surface finish of parts cast in graphite
molds virtually eliminate the additional finishing steps required
with other casting techniques. This further reduces the total time
from design to production.
ZA-12 Alloy Outperforms Traditional Materials
Isotech ZA-12 zinc/aluminum alloy offers
an excellent combination of mechanical properties, surface finish,
and low cost. ZA-12's strength, hardness, and wear properties are
better than any other general-purpose nonferrous casting alloy.
Because ZA-12 is spark proof, it can be used in hazardous environments,
including those underground. In addition, ZA-12 offers excellent
castability, has a distinctive lustrous appearance, and its low
casting temperature promotes long mold life.
