Clothing andLuggage Industry
- The clothing industry produces garments, while luggage includes bags, suitcases, and travel accessories, requiring strong and corrosion-resistant materials for hardware.
- Good mechanical properties (e.g., tensile strength > 250 MPa), corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
- Zinc alloys are used in hardware for both due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
- Zinc alloys are employed in the clothing and luggage sectors to cast zippers, fasteners, handles, locks, wheels in luggage and other hardware components, typically through die-casting processes.
