The building industry

• The building industry constructs residential, commercial, and industrial structures, as well as infrastructure, requiring durable and corrosion-resistant materials.
• Properties include high corrosion resistance (e.g., salt spray test duration > 240 hours), good mechanical strength (e.g., tensile strength > 300 MPa), and low maintenance requirements.
• Zinc alloys are crucial due to their corrosion resistance and durability， are used for hardware and structural components. 
• Zinc alloy ingots are utilized in casting structural components, hardware (such as hinges and locks), and decorative elements, suitable for die-casting and gravity-casting processes.
