FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Is zamak used in the automotive sector?
Absolutely. Zamak is used for interior components, brackets, linkages, seatbelt buckles, locking system parts and decorative trim.
What tolerances can be achieved for automotive components?
Zamak die casting achieves tolerances of +/-0.05 mm, often eliminating the need for secondary machining operations.
Is zamak lighter than steel?
Zamak density (6.6 g/cm3) is lower than steel (7.8 g/cm3) but higher than aluminium. The main advantage is dimensional precision and lower cost for complex geometries.
