NECKLACE IN ZAMA (zamak)

The term zama metal alloy refers to a family of zinc alloys, whose main elements are aluminum, magnesium, antimony, and copper. The second alloy element is aluminum, present in percentages ranging from 0.8 to 27%, whose main effect is as a hardening agent, while copper increases castability.

Iron is present as an impurity.

The excellent castability and hardness comparable to many cast irons and brasses make Zama suitable for jewelry.
