2、commercial zinc alloys in ingot form for remelting for the manufacturing of high pressure die castings used in automotive applications and other allied industries. Zinc alloy ingots are specified by the chemical composition. 1.1 Material Description. These zinc alloy ingots are produced for use in h
3、igh pressure die casting. Each zinc ingot grade has a composition that aligns with, but is tighter than, the respective die cast grade. The various grades of pressure die cast zinc alloys can be referenced in GMW worldwide specification GMW3341. 1.1.1 Material Identification. This specification cove
4、rs the GMW3344 ingot grades listed below in Table 1 and the commercial alloy that each ingot will ultimately make. Appendix Table A1 provides a relationship between some of the national and international specifications and these GMW3344 alloy grades. Table 1: Ingot Grades and Commercial Alloys Ingot

Not applicable. 1.3 Typical Applications. Zinc alloy ingots are used as the base melting stock to cast zinc alloy parts for auto
6、motive usage. Various compositions are needed to meet the strength requirements of the different high pressure die casting grades. 2 References Note: Only the latest approved standards are applicable unless otherwise specified. 2.1 External Standards/Specifications.

To provide high qua
18、lity ingots, thorough mixing of the molten bath in the furnace pot is recommended to insure homogeneity. Crucibles and furnaces that have been previously used for brass and bronze must be avoided, as lead and tin (which are commonly used in copper-based alloys) are serious contaminates. It is also r
19、ecommended that melting and handling equipment be coated with refractory washes to prevent iron dissolution and subsequent melt contamination. 4 Manufacturing Process Not applicable. 5 Rules and Regulations 5.1 Legal Regulations. All materials must satisfy applicable laws, rules, regulations and rec
20、ommendations valid in the country of usage. 5.2 Language. In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 5.3 Inspection and Rejection. Samples of components or materials released to a GM material specification shall be tested for confo
21、rmity with the requirements of this material specification and approved by the responsible Engineering department prior to commencement of delivery of bulk supplies. A new approval must be received for any changes, e.g., properties, manufacturing process, location of manufacture, etc. If not otherwi
22、se agreed, all testing and documentation normally required for initial release must be completed. It is the responsibility of the supplier to inform the customer in a timely manner, without solicitation, and to include documentation of all modifications of materials and/or processes and to apply for
23、 a new release. If not otherwise agreed, all release tests shall be repeated and documented by the supplier prior to commencement of delivery of non-conforming bulk supplies. In individual cases, a shorter test can be agreed to between the responsible Engineering department and the supplier. 5.4 Ini
24、tial Source Approval.
