Control Handles and Mounting Box
ZA-12 graphite permanent mold castings are used for the gunner’s control handles and mounting box because the process is an economical low-volume casting method. ZA-12 also provides the handles with the density to simulate steel. Graphite permanent mold casting is...
Drive Beck
The drive deck for Cherokee’s 5-1/4 in. WORM optical drive utilizes a ZA-12 graphite permanent mold casting. From the start, graphite permanent mold was the process of choice because of its economical tooling cost, good dimensional control, and low-volume economies....
Electrical Auxiliary Switch Cam
A starter for large horse-power motors incorporated a fabricated sheet-metal cam bolted to a bracket and welded to a shaft. To simplify manufacturing and reduce cost, the cam design was changed to a single-piece ZA-12, graphite permanent mold casting. Additionally,...

Low-Speed, High-Load Bearings
The Champion Series IV grader incorporates ZA-12 alloy low-speed, high load bearing to improve operation performance. This Front Axle Bearing application acts as a replacement for the grader’s front axle needle bearings. The original needle bearings performed well...
Planter Handler
The planter handle is used to adjust spring force to a pair of closing wheels. It is important for the handle to be durable, easily accessible, and very comfortable to grip. To accent product appearance, designers chose a die cast over a welded fabrication. Die cast...
Roof-Bolt Wedge Anchors
When the AKZO Salt Company had problems getting roof-bolt wedge anchors from its malleable-iron foundry supplier, it opened the door for zinc alloy. Mine management set out to find an alternative source for these vital parts, but they were unable to find another...
Trim Frame
The instrument incorporates two frames, one for the front panel and another in the rear. Originally the frames were designed as welded aluminium extrusions. In search of alternative methods, the manufacturer looked to zinc graphite permanent mould casting with its low...
