The following is a brief introduction to the case of die-casting non-ferrous metals:

1) Classification of die-casting non-ferrous alloys shrinkage:

Lead alloy: 0.2-0.3%, 0.3-0.4%, 0.4-0.5%,

Low-melting alloy, tin alloy, zinc alloy: 0.3 -0.4% 0.4-0.6% 0.6-0.8% Aluminum-silicon:  0.3-0.5% 0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9%

Die-casting non-ferrous alloy aluminum alloy copper-copper-magnesium:  0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9% 0.9-1.1%

High melting point alloy aluminum-zinc-based magnesium alloy:  0.5-0.7% 0.7-0.9% 0.9-1.1%
