Zinc is a corrosion-resistant, bluish-white metal that is highly formable, リサイクル可能, そして費用対効果. Pure zinc [ochre or gray] finds very little use without alloying elements such as aluminum, 銅, or magnesium to join it in the formation of Zamak and ZA alloys. These alloys can be appreciated because of their strength, 耐摩耗性, and ability to be cast or machined.
What Is Zinc Machining?
The machining of zinc includes CNC milling, 旋回, 掘削, たたく, そして仕上げ. Since they are soft and ductile, cutting zinc alloys is very easy. それにもかかわらず, to prevent the occurrence of burrs, deformation, or tool buildup, exact process control is mandatory.
Here at TOPS, we have a CAD model and CNC equipment that is high-speed and configured to work with soft metals. We choose fine carbide cutters, optimum feeds and speeds, and lubricating oils in order to provide clean cutting operations, reduced wear, and outstanding precision.
