Problems solved by technology

Zinc alloy has low melting point, good fluidity, easy fusion welding, brazing and plastic processing, corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, and the residual waste is easy to recycle and remelt; but the creep strength is low, and it is easy to cause dimensional changes caused by natural aging
[0003] In addition to the above-mentioned essential performance defects, the zinc alloys in the prior art also have the following technical problems: 1. Since most of the zinc alloys are manufactured due to lower smelting costs (mainly low energy consumption and low raw material costs at smelting temperature), Therefore, there are many impurities, and it can only be used for decorative applications, but not for structural and functional applications; 2. In the prior art, even for high-end functional zinc alloys, the casting structure dendrites are generally large in size and have obvious segregation ;3. The melting point of zinc alloy is low. The existing technology generally uses 60°C-80°C superheat for melting. Although the melting cost is reduced and the melting efficiency is improved, it also causes the original ingot grain size to be too coarse and the grain size is not uniform. , which limits the precision machining, heat treatment and final application of zinc alloys; 4. The zinc alloy master ingots in the prior art are all interlaced and embedded with many dendrites (columnar single crystals), and a small amount of eutectic structure is mixed between the crystals structure, and according to the prior art, the larger the proportion of eutectic structure, the higher the obtained fluidity and the better casting filling performance
