1. Zinc alloys and heat treatments
Zinc is mainly used for galvanizing and as an additive in bronzes and brasses. Zinc alloys are mainly shaped either by foundry processes (70%) or by continuous casting (30%) to produce sheet metal for roofing. The pressure die-casting process (see
Due to the near-monopoly of die-casting, parts are of comparable shapes, sizes and, above all, thicknesses (see the article Foundry and casting of zinc alloys
