Material

1
Primary Alloys Material
Primary Alloys: Zamak 3 (Zn–4%Al) and Zamak 5 (Zn–4%Al–1%Cu) — excellent fluidity, stability, and strength.
2
Optional Alloys Material
Zamak 7 – higher ductility and corrosion resistance for thin-wall housings.
ZA-8 (Zn–8%Al) – enhanced mechanical strength for structural frames.
(Compliant with ASTM B240 / EN 1774 standards.)

Surface Treatment

Server housings require both EMI performance and corrosion protection. GuangWei provides multiple industrial-grade finishing options:

Material  Zinc alloy #3 / #5 or per customer specification Standard salt spray requirement  ≥48h
Surface treatment  Copper layer 300–1000 μ" + Nickel plating 120–600 μ" (customizable) 85/85 Test  500h–1000h, corrosion area ≤5%
Surface roughness  Ra ≤ 1.6 μm Thermal shock test  -55℃ ~ +85℃, 100 cycles
Peel strength  ≥15 kgf (enhanced stability) Mating durability  ≥500 cycles, or per customer requirement
Salt spray test  24h / 48h / 96h (customizable) Contact/Pad plating  PCB pad with 0.38 μm Au / 1.27 μm Ni; contact area customizable
* Plating type and thickness are selected based on mechanical tolerance, EMI, and corrosion requirements. GuangWei performs dimensional compensation in mold design to offset plating thickness.

Packaging and Logistics

Each zinc die casting server enclosure is individually packed in an anti-static plastic bag, then placed into protective EPE foam compartments to prevent surface abrasion or impact. Units are consolidated into sturdy 5-ply export-grade cartons, sealed and labeled with part number, quantity, and batch code. Palletized packaging is available for bulk shipments.

MOQ
500 pcs per model (negotiable for prototype or pilot orders).
21–30 working days after drawing confirmation and receipt of deposit. For repeat mass orders, production cycles can be shortened based on mold readiness.
By air (DHL / FedEx / UPS / TNT) for small-volume orders or urgent samples. By sea or consolidated freight for large-volume shipments, with full export documentation (CO, MSDS, RoHS reports, etc.) available upon request.
GuangWei offers custom labeling, warehouse storage, and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) services for strategic customers in the electronics and server industries.

Frequently Asked Questions
1
What information do I need to provide for a quotation?
Please provide 3D drawings (STEP/STP/IGS), 2D toleranced drawings (PDF), expected annual quantity, surface treatment requirements, and performance tests (e.g., salt spray, 85/85, EMI). This helps us offer the most accurate and competitive quotation.
2
Can GuangWei provide prototype samples before mass production?
Yes. We can produce CNC-machined or small-batch die-cast samples for verification before full tool launch. Typical sample lead time is 10–15 working days.
3
What quality control measures are in place during production?
Every batch undergoes 100% visual inspection and random dimensional verification using CMM. Surface treatment layers are checked by thickness gauge and adhesion tests per ASTM B571. Full inspection reports and test data can be provided.
4
How do you ensure corrosion and EMI performance meet customer standards?
We apply nickel-based plating systems (electrolytic or electroless) that meet 48–240 h salt spray resistance. EMI shielding is validated using test coupons achieving ≥60 dB at 1 GHz, compliant with server housing requirements.
5
What are your standard trade and payment terms?
Standard terms are EXW or FOB Shenzhen. Payment is typically 50% deposit + 50% balance before shipment. We also support L/C or monthly settlement for long-term customers.
