The name zamak is an acronym of the German names for the metals of which the alloys are composed: Zink (zinc), Aluminium, Magnesium and Kupfer (copper). [2] The New Jersey Zinc Company developed zamak alloys in 1929. The most common zamak alloy is zamak 3. Besides that, zamak 2, zamak 5 and zamak 7 are also commercially used. [2]
Toy road roller cast from zinc. Pot metal (or monkey metal) is an alloy of low-melting point metals that manufacturers use to make fast, inexpensive castings. The term "pot metal" came about because of automobile factories' practice in the early 20th century of gathering up non-ferrous metal scraps from the manufacturing processes and melting them in one pot to form into cast products.
Zinc pest (from German Zinkpest "zinc plague"), also known as zinc rot, mazak rot and zamak rot, is a destructive, intercrystalline corrosion process of zinc alloys containing lead impurities. [1] While impurities of the alloy are the primary cause of the problem, environmental conditions such as high humidity (greater than 65%) may accelerate ...

Mazak (alloy), UK brand name for a zinc-based alloy also known as Zamak; Yamazaki Mazak Corporation; See also. Mazaaq, 1975 Indian film
In the early days, as mentioned, it was common for impurities in the alloy to result in zinc pest, and the casting would distort, crack, or crumble. As a result, die-cast toys made before World War II are difficult to find in good condition. The later high-purity Zamak alloy avoided this problem. Lesney began making die-cast toys in 1947.
ZAMAK is listed under the alloys of aluminum, but the ZAMAK alloys are mostly zinc. Should a category of zinc alloys be added to this page? Chuckhoffmann 20:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC) all lists are very useful so zinc alloys should be added together with their recommended usage. I have been searching for a list of aluminium equivalents.
Alloys of primarily zinc with small amounts of copper, aluminium, and magnesium are useful in die casting as well as spin casting, especially in the automotive, electrical, and hardware industries. [9] These alloys are marketed under the name Zamak. [101]
