Zamak 5 Ingot (Aluminum 4%, Copper 1%, Zinc 95%)

Sold by the Ingot

Each ingot weighs approximately 4lbs (3.9lbs -4.1lbs) and measures 1" x 2" x 8.5" with tapered sides. Zamak 5 has the same composition as Zamak 3 with the addition of 1% copper in order to increase strength (by approximately 10%) hardness and corrosive resistance, but reduces ductility. It also has less dimensional accuracy.

Zamak 5 is a commonly used zinc die casting alloy throughout the world due to its combination of strength, ductility and fluidity. The 1% additional copper added to the alloy improves the alloy's mechanical properties. Zamak 5 is more commonly used in Europe than zamak 3.

Nominal Composition - 95% Zn, 4% Al & 1% Cu
