Zinc die casting allows the efficient production of large quantities with just one casting mold. The low melting point of zinc (390° C) and the particularly narrow solidification interval allow tight tolerances and demanding surfaces. The result is very small to medium-sized castings, even in the case of complicated shapes, with maximum precision, hardness and strength - but this requires optimum casting conditions such as a constant filling and an exact temperature level. RAUCH provides precisely these conditions with its specially designed zinc casting solutions.
