ZAMAK NECKLACE (zamak)

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

Iron is present as an impurity.

Excellent castability and hardness comparable to that of many cast irons and brasses make Zamak suitable for costume jewelry.
