One of the most common uses of zinc die castings in the appliance industry is for small components such as brackets, gears, hinges, and fasteners. These components are used in a variety of appliances. Zinc die castings are ideal for these applications because they are able to provide a high level of precision and accuracy, which is critical for ensuring that parts fit together correctly and function properly.

Zinc is an excellent conductor of electricity, which makes it an ideal material for producing connectors, and housings for electronic systems in appliances. Zinc die castings provide conductivity and with the proper application of plating provide resistance to corrosion. The ability to cast detailed features also makes small zinc castings an excellent choice for electrical components.

The properties of Zamak alloys provide an excellent substrate for decorative finishing. Zinc alloys are common materials used in the production of handles and knobs for appliances such as ovens, refrigerators, and washing machines.

These components need to be durable due to the frequency of user interface. The castings can also be finished using several decorative methods including paint or electroplate to provide cosmetics often demanded in high-cost appliances. Zinc die castings provide a decorative surface while also offering precision and repeatability in production.
