Development and Research Status of ZA27 Zinc Alloy

Abstract

In recent years, due to the rapid development of industry, the manufacturing processing quality was required to be higher and higher day by day, which made a major breakthrough in the research of metal materials. A series of new technologies and processes have been developed. The application and promotion of these technologies and processes have greatly improved the technical level of the non-ferrous metal industry, especially in the field of zinc alloy. ZA27 zinc alloy received extensive attention during this period. ZA27 zinc alloy is widely used in automobiles, construction, household appliances, ships, light industry, machinery, batteries and other industries due to its excellent wear resistance, friction reduction and mechanical properties. For these reasons, ZA27 zinc alloy has become a good substitutive material for copper alloy. In this paper, according to the research history and current situation of ZA27 zinc alloy around the world, the effects of different adding elements and the characteristics of different processes were comparatively analyzed, and summarized the progress at home and abroad. At the same time, this paper pointed out the problems existing in the development and production of ZA27 zinc alloy, which provided the basis for the development of ZA27 zinc alloy in the future.
