Component Specifications

Definition
The internal microstructure refers to the arrangement, size, distribution, and morphology of grains, phases, and defects within the zinc alloy billet, formed during continuous casting and solidification processes, which directly determines the billet's mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and subsequent processing performance.
Working Principle
During continuous casting, molten high-purity zinc alloy solidifies under controlled cooling rates and thermal gradients, forming a specific microstructure through nucleation and grain growth. The process parameters (e.g., casting speed, cooling water flow, alloy composition) influence grain refinement, phase distribution, and defect minimization to achieve uniform and fine-grained structures.
Materials
High-purity zinc alloy (typically Zn ≥ 99.99% with controlled trace elements like Al, Cu, Mg for alloying), free from excessive impurities (Pb, Cd, Fe < 0.003%) to ensure microstructure integrity.
Technical Parameters
  • Porosity < 0.1%
  • Grain Size 50-150 μm
  • Microhardness 40-60 HV
  • Defect Density No cracks, shrinkage cavities, or inclusions exceeding 10 μm
  • Phase Distribution Uniform α-Zn matrix with minimal intermetallic phases
Standards
ISO 6892-1, ASTM E112, DIN 50125
