Zinc, the fourth most commonly used metal in the world, is surprisingly not well known.  Its unique properties make it ideal for a number of applications, including castings.  While just about any casting process can be used with zinc alloys, over 80% of all Zinc casting are produced by the pressure die casting process.

 

We want you to test your knowledge of zinc by taking our challenge, a two part zinc casting design competition.  The first part based on knowledge, the second on practical design.
