Zinc is a preferred choice for CNC machining thanks to its durability, low friction coefficient, impressive malleability and elegant finish. SHBD Metal provides a comprehensive range of zinc CNC machining services, using advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment for unrivaled precision and quality. Our proficient machinists specialize in complex parts, from intricate molds to highly customized components. Zamak 3, Zamak 5 and ZA-8 are the alloys we machine most often, each with its own balance of properties for specific applications.
Zamak 3, sometimes referred to as Zinc Alloy 3, is the most common zinc alloy in North America due to its excellent balance of hardness, ductility and strength. It is an ideal choice for numerous CNC machining applications.
Zamak 5, also known as Zinc Alloy 5, is well known for its higher copper content, which enhances strength, hardness and corrosion resistance compared with Zamak 3. It is an excellent choice for CNC machined parts that require extra strength.
ZA-8, also known as Zinc Aluminum Alloy 8, is characterized by its higher aluminum content compared to other zinc alloys. Its improved strength and hardness, and its ability to be cast with thin walls, make it an excellent choice for intricate, high-precision CNC parts.

Reduces porosity in the zinc and improves its mechanical properties.
Adds a thin layer of corrosion protection together with an appealing finish.
A chemical treatment that strips impurities from the zinc surface.
The zinc part is dipped into a vat of molten zinc, forming a protective layer on the surface that prevents rust and corrosion.
Applies a polyester or epoxy powder layer that cures into a durable finish.
Forms an oxide layer on the zinc surface and allows color customization.
Coats the zinc part with a thin layer of metal (such as gold, silver, or copper), providing an attractive finish and additional corrosion resistance.
Deposits a nickel-phosphorous alloy that resists corrosion and wear.
