Furniture ZINC DIE CASTING BENEFITS

Did you know that Zinc die casting is used for furniture applications? The furniture industry has long relied on the use of various materials to create functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces. Zinc die casted furniture parts have emerged as a popular choice for furniture manufacturers due to their versatility, strength, and durability. Zinc die castings are made by injecting molten zinc alloy into a mold cavity at high pressure, creating a precise and detailed part. This casting process produces complex shapes with excellent surface finishes, making zinc die castings ideal for a wide range of furniture applications.

Common Furniture Parts Made with Zinc Die Casting

Zinc die castings are also widely used in the production of upholstery hardware, such as buckles, buttons, and hooks. These components require strength, as they are subjected to constant use and can be subject to high levels of stress and strain. These product types often require a decorative finish which, as noted above, is a benefit of high-pressure zinc casting. Zinc die castings can provide the necessary strength and durability for these components, ensuring that they function properly and can withstand the demands of daily use.
The use of zinc die castings in the furniture industry is also growing in the production of office furniture. Components such as hinges, locks, and drawer slides require a high level of durability in order to function properly and withstand the demands of daily office use. Zinc die castings provide the necessary strength and durability for these components, as well as the precision and accuracy required for correct fit and functionality.

Manufacturing Lighting Fixtures with Zinc Alloy Parts

Zinc die castings are also used in manufacturing lighting fixtures for furniture. These components are often unique in design to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing look. Zinc die castings can provide the necessary shape for the production of these lighting fixture components. Lighting fixtures also may require head dissipation components, or heat sinks. Zinc alloys are highly conductive and can be cast with thin walls which is an excellent solution for heat sinks.

Designing Outdoor Furniture with Zinc Parts

Another area where zinc die castings are commonly used in the furniture industry is in the production of outdoor furniture. Outdoor furniture is exposed to various weather conditions and must be able to withstand the elements in order to remain functional and aesthetically pleasing. Zinc die castings, when finished properly, are highly resistant to corrosion. Painting with powder coat or wet paint, e-coat or plating are often used in outdoor applications. For these reasons we see zinc as an ideal choice for outdoor furniture components such as table legs, frame components, and hardware.
