Zinc Alloy ZA-8 

  • The Zinc alloy ZA-8 contains substantially more aluminum than the ZAMAK alloys.
      
    • ZA-8 has 8.4% Aluminum, 0.025% Magnesium, and 1.0% Copper
  • The ZA-8 alloy meets the tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, and electrical conductivity requirements. 
  • But the alloy does not have the needed impact strength, dimensional accuracy, or machinability.
The ZA-8 zinc alloy is not the best choice.
