What Is Zinc Machining

Zinc, a versatile and abundant metal, has long been a staple in various industries due to its exceptional properties. Zinc, a bluish-white metal, is commonly extracted from its ore, sphalerite.It boasts excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity, making it an ideal candidate for a wide array of applications across sectors.Machining zinc requires a deep understanding of its properties and characteristics. By employing appropriate techniques, tools, and strategies, manufacturers can overcome challenges and achieve high-quality machined parts for a wide range of applications. The process of zinc machining involves the shaping, cutting, and finishing of zinc parts to meet specific design requirements.

Properties of Zinc Relevant to Machining

Before delving into the machining processes, it’s crucial to understand the key properties of zinc that influence its machinability:

Low Melting Point: Zinc has a relatively low melting point of approximately 419°C (786°F), making it susceptible to thermal deformation during machining processes that generate heat.
Ductility: Zinc is a ductile metal, which means it can be easily deformed without breaking. This property affects chip formation and requires specific machining techniques to prevent issues such as built-up edge and material deformation.
Corrosion Resistance: Zinc is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for applications in environments where exposure to moisture and chemicals is common.
Softness: Zinc is a relatively soft metal, which can lead to challenges like material smearing and burr formation during machining.

Top Zinc Cnc Machining Case Studies

Cnc Machining processes such as cnc milling, turning and Gantry mill machining are today considered the most economic way to make zinc prototypes. Sometimes, however, certain non-machiningable materials are needed, and sometimes zinc die casting is the only option. Our company has rich experience making zinc concept models and precise functional components. Understanding the properties of different zinc alloy, with lots of testing and experimentation with pre-heating, tool paths and other factors, we are able to minimize deformation on zinc alloy. Be-cu prototyping company provides a range of solutions for the machining of zinc parts.
