A356 is the most popular. A380 aluminum alloy is also widely used for casting general-purpose die castings. It has good mechanical properties and is used in hundreds of applications including air brake castings, gear cases and air-cooled cylinder heads. Aluminum6061, 7075, 5052 are typically used in extrustion and not suitable for diecasting.

Zinc Casting Material:
| ZAMAK2 |
The strongest and hardest ZAMAK alloy. Generally die cast, it is occasionally employed for gravity casting |
| ZAMAK3 |
The most used general purpose zinc die casting alloy, providing an excellent combination of strength, ductility and impact strength. It also provides excellent plating and finishing characteristics. |
| ZAMAK5 |
|
| ZAMAK7 |
|
| ZA-8 |
Die Casting - Hot Chamber, provides improved performance characteristics over the ZAMAK alloys |
| ZA-12 |
Die Casting - Cold Chamber, Permanent mold |
