Zamak 5
- Alternative Designations: ZnAl4Cu1 | ZP0410 (EN) | AC41A (ASTM) | ZDC1 (JIS) | Z35531 (UNS)
Colors:
- Any color is achievable with finishing
Description:
The higher copper content gives Zamak 5 an improved strength but is less ductile than Zamak 3. This reduction in ductility can influence formability during operations like bending, riveting, or crimping. Zamak 5 can also be more readily plated or finished than Zamak 3. It has high mechanical strength and can be used in applications where parts are subject to high-stress levels. It also has good resistance to corrosion.

Anodizing (Type II)
Type II anodize provides increased corrosion resistance and can be used as a base for paint and other finishes.
Notes:- Involves using dyes to affect the part’s surface color
- Type II coatings are susceptible to wear and may bleach or fade under prolonged direct sunlight
- Possibility of requesting custom colors (RAL)
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
-
Powder coating
Provides a continuous, protective color finish on parts using evenly applied, heat-cured paint. The finish is usually tougher and even compared to conventional painting.
Notes:Metals like aluminium and steel can be efficiently coated with polymer powders.
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
-
Spray painting
Provides a continuous, protective color finish which is applied by spraying.
Notes:- Paint coating is just on the surface level, if it is scratched or subjected to wear and tear, the internal natural colour is visible
- Possibility of requesting custom colours (RAL)
Available colors:
- Any custom RAL color
-
Custom Finishing
If you select a custom finish in the Instant Quoting Engine it will require manual review. Manual quoting usually takes 1-2 business days.
Notes:Submitting for manual review with a custom request does not guarantee a quote.
