Zamak Alloy
Durable and robust components, ensuring reliability in various industrial applications thanks to zamak alloy.
The Zinc Alloy with a Thousand Properties
Zamak is a zinc (Zn) alloy combined with small percentages of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), and copper (Cu). Thanks to its intrinsic properties, Zamak stands out for its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and strength, offering numerous advantages compared to other materials such as aluminum and magnesium.
Zamak offers several mechanical and production advantages:
- Enables the production of thin and lightweight parts, reducing assembly and machining operations.
- The fluidity and density of zinc allow the creation of components with complex details and a superior perception of solidity.
- The molds used for zamak die-casting last longer than those for aluminum and magnesium, reducing production costs.
- Thanks to its properties, zamak eliminates the need for bearings and bushings, further lowering assembly costs.
At Sonical, we have been working with zinc alloys for decades: for over sixty years we have perfected our techniques and accumulated extensive expertise in producing components for all major application sectors.

Processing and Finishes
Zamak is a metal alloy that offers a wide range of processing options thanks to its exceptional mechanical properties. This material can be shaped through processes such as hot-chamber die casting, a technique that allows the creation of highly precise components with refined details and a smooth surface. Among the main available finishes are:
- Galvanic coatings (nickel plating, chrome plating, brass plating, etc.).
- Painting.
- Customizable surface textures.
Thanks to its versatility, zamak is used in various sectors, including construction, furniture, marine, lighting, and industrial components.
