2、evision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers commercial zinc alloys in ingot form for remelting for the manufacture

3、 of dies and molds fromthe alloys as shown in Table 1.1.2 This specification presents requirements for zinc alloys suitable for the production of sand cast or plaster cast forming diesfor sheet metal stamping operations and plastic injection molding. Alloy A is intended for use in the fabrication of

4、 dies for sheetmetal stamping under drop hammer and hydraulic pressure. Alloy B is a special purpose alloy of closely controlled compositionand is primarily used in the manufacture of plastic injection molds.1.3 This specification covers two zinc alloys which are specified and designated as follows:
