Definitions
- the present invention relates to a metal alloy which can be cast, rolled and soldered and has good tarnish and corrosion resistance.
- Zinc alloys are the easiest to cast into moulds as compared with steel and aluminum alloys. Presently available alloys are generally not suitable for use for the manufacture of functional and ornamental products as they are not easily soldered, rolled and/or cast. Soldering of one or more parts of the alloy together with common tin/bismuth solder is important as many products are made from a combination of different parts. The colour of the alloy is also an important consideration for most products.

- a zinc alloy comprising of, by weight, 0.15-0.40 % of magnesium, 0.03-0.5% of silver, 0.3-8.0 % of tin, 0.3-6.0 % of nickel and/or 0.05-2.5 % of bismuth or any combination thereof and the balance being zinc at purity of 99.995 %.
- aluminum and copper are not included into the alloy to avoid high viscosity for molten alloy.
- Nickel blends well together with tin.
- Aluminum increases the tarnish resistance of the zinc alloy by passivation protection as zinc tarnishes easily.
- the present invention discloses the use of aluminum in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of aluminum exceeds 0.75 % by weight to achieve passivation protection.
- the amount of aluminum should not exceed 4.75 % by weight, as it would be difficult to cast due to the high viscosity of the molten alloy.
- the present invention discloses the use of aluminum in the preferable range of 0.75-4.75 % by weight.
- An alloy with aluminum within this range can be cast using various casting methods. However, the grains of this alloy are rough and the thinner portions of the cast parts break easily. Further, the color of the cast part is dull grey to whitish dull grey with increasing aluminum content. Also, a higher percentage of aluminum with higher passivation protection would make soldering with tin/bismuth alloy difficult.
- the solderability values of the alloy are shown in Table 1.
- the inclusion of copper will improve the malleability of the alloy. Without copper, cast parts tend to crack or break off during removal from the mould.
- the present invention discloses the use of copper in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of copper exceeds 0.45 % by weight. However, if the amount of copper exceeds 3 % by weight, the alloy becomes hard to remove from the moulds. Moreover, finishing processes for the alloy become difficult if the hardness is high. Hence, the present invention discloses the use of copper in the preferable range of 0.45-3 % by weight. The alloy within this range can be cast using various casting methods but the grains will be rough. With the addition of copper, the cast parts do not crack or break off easily. The color of this alloy becomes darker dull grey with increasing copper content. The solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- the present invention discloses the use of magnesium in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of magnesium exceeds 0.07 % by weight. However, the amount of magnesium used should not exceed 0.09 % by weight as the viscosity of the alloy will be adversely affected. When the molten alloy becomes too viscose, the alloy becomes difficult to cast. Moreover, a higher content of magnesium in the alloy will cause excessive dross formation. Hence, the present invention discloses the use of magnesium in the preferable range of 0.07-0.09 % by weight. An alloy within this range can be cast using various casting methods without rough grains. The color of this alloy becomes a brighter grey with increasing magnesium content.
- the content of magnesium can be increased to a preferable range of 0.15-0.40 % by weight.
- aluminum and copper are not included into the alloy to avoid high viscosity for molten alloy.
- silver is added at range of 0.03-0.5 % by weight to provide malleability to the alloy.
- the color of the alloy is brighter gray white.
- 0.05-2.5 % by weight of bismuth and/or 0.1-8 % by weight of tin and/or 0.3-6 % by weight of nickel may be added to the alloy in various combinations. The solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- Nickel Nickel will increase the corrosion resistance of the alloy, improve the color of the alloy and improve solderability.
- the present invention discloses the use of nickel in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of nickel exceeds 0.05 % by weight. However, the amount of nickel should not exceed 1.5 % by weight, as the molten alloy will become too viscose. It is difficult to cast with high viscosity and the alloy will also become brittle. Hence, the present invention discloses the use of nickel in the preferable range of 0.05-1.5 % by weight. An alloy within this range can be cast using various casting methods. The color of this alloy becomes bright grey with increasing nickel content.
- the total amount of nickel can be increased to a level not exceeding 6 % by weight when mixed with tin.
- the combination with tin at ratio of roughly 3 :4 would allow the viscosity to be maintained.
- the solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- Tin Tin will improve the solderability and increase the ductility of the alloy.
- the present invention discloses the use of tin in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of tin exceeds 0.1 % by weight. However, the amount of tin should not exceed 1 % by weight. Higher level of tin will contribute towards increasing the internal corrosion of the alloy. Hence, the present invention discloses the inclusion of tin in the preferable range of 0.1-1 % by weight. The color of this alloy becomes bright grey with additional tin. The level of tin can be increased to 8 % when mixed together with nickel. The solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- Silver Silver may be used to give a shinier color to the alloy. It will also increase the malleability of the alloy.
- the present invention discloses the use of silver in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of silver exceeds 0.03 % by weight.
- the amount of silver should not exceed 0.5 % by weight as the viscosity of molten alloy increases with increasing silver content. It becomes difficult to cast with higher viscosity.
- the present invention discloses the inclusion of silver in the preferable range of 0.03-0.5 % by weight.
- the solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- Bismuth Bismuth will reduce the porosity of cast part.
- the present invention discloses the use of bismuth in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of bismuth exceeds 0.05 % by weight. However, the amount of bismuth should not exceed 2.5 % by weight as the color will turn whitish with increasing bismuth content. Tarnish resistance is reduced with increasing amount of bismuth. Hence, the present invention discloses the inclusion of bismuth in the preferable range of 0.05-2.5 % by weight.
- copper element may be replaced from the composition. The solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- the present invention further discloses a zinc alloy with a high percentage of tin developed for the rolling process. Tin is needed to improve ductility thus enabling the alloy to be rolled.
- the present invention discloses the use of tin in combination with zinc wherein the total amount of tin exceeds 13 % by weight to be effective as an alloy as tin content below that percentage cracks easily during rolling operation. However, the amount of tin need not exceed 30 % by weight.
- the present invention discloses the use of tin for rolling process in the preferable range of 13-30 %.
- the solderability values of this alloy are shown in Table 1.
- Sheet rolling operations have been conducted using 17.78 x 12.70 x 1.27 cm (7 x 5 x 1 A inches) sheet made from the disclosed alloy. Final sheet thickness is around 2 mm. Reasonably good rolled sheets were obtained.
- the present invention discloses a zinc alloy that has a wide application and can be used in the design and production of a varied range of functional and ornamental products.
- Example of the products include range of hardware, such as furniture, household articles, counter-tops, architectural hardware, interior and exterior decorative accessories, gardening goods and components for lightings and fixtures.
- the disclosed zinc alloy is also suitable for producing a wide range of giftware. It may also be used as an alternative to and substitute for tin alloys.
