Casting is a process in which molten metal is poured or injected and allowed to solidify in a suitably shaped mold cavity. During or after cooling, the cast part is removed from the mold and then processed for delivery.

Casting processes and cast-material technologies vary from simple to highly complex. Material and process selection depends on the part's complexity and function, the product's quality specifications, and the projected cost level.

Zinc is a bluish-white lustrous metallic element; brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable when heated. Zinc component designs combine the precision and cost-effectiveness of the casting process with the exceptional mechanical and physical properties of zinc alloys.
