Furniture Industry
- The furniture industry produces items for seating, storage, and other household or office use.
- High tensile strength (e.g., > 250 MPa), good surface finish (e.g., surface roughness Ra < 0.8 µm), and corrosion resistance.
- Zinc alloys are used in furniture hardware for their strength, durability, and ability to be cast into complex shapes.
- The furniture sector extensively employs zinc alloy castings for components like handles, locks, bathroom fittings, hinges, and brackets, which are typically produced through die-casting or gravity-casting techniques.
