Casting is a simple, inexpensive and versatile way of forming aluminium into a wide array of products. 

Zinc casting alloys are stronger than reinforced moulded polymers and zinc’s hardness, self-lubricating properties, dimensional stability and high modulus make it suitable for working mechanical parts, such as gears and pinions, that would be less durable if moulded from polymers. Zinc’s excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as precise casting tolerances, make it an ideal material choice for heat sinks, electrical components and applications requiring electromagnetic shielding.  Zinc can be cast at moderate temperatures thus providing significant energy and processing savings over other metals and engineering alloys. 

Power transmissions and car engines were all produced through the aluminium casting process. Most castings, especially large aluminium products, are usually made in sand casting process. 

The die casting process forces molten aluminium into a steel die (mould) under pressure. This manufacturing technique is normally used for high-volume production. Precisely formed aluminium parts requiring a minimum of machining and finishing can be produced through this casting method.
