Zinc Metal Ingots
Zinc metal ingots are refined forms of zinc that are cast into specific shapes for various industrial applications. Zinc ingots are typically produced through a process called electrolysis, where zinc ore is dissolved in a solution and electric current is applied to extract pure zinc.

Description
- Purity: Zinc ingots are available in different purity levels, typically ranging from 99.95% to 99.99% purity. The higher the purity, the lower the presence of impurities in the zinc metal.
- Appearance: Zinc ingots are usually cast into rectangular or trapezoidal shapes, depending on the manufacturer or specific requirements. They have a bluish-white color and a smooth, shiny surface.
- Applications: Zinc metal ingots find widespread use in various industries, including:
- Galvanizing: Zinc is commonly used as a protective coating for steel and iron structures to prevent corrosion.
- Alloying: Zinc is alloyed with other metals such as copper to produce brass, bronze, and other alloys with improved properties.
- Die casting: Zinc alloys, such as zinc-aluminum (ZA) alloys, are used in die casting applications for their excellent castability and dimensional stability.
- Chemicals: Zinc compounds derived from zinc ingots are used in the production of various chemicals, including paints, pigments, and rubber additives.
