Standard Specification for High Fluidity (HF) Zinc-Aluminum Alloy Thin Wall Die Castings

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers commercial zinc, zinc-aluminum castings and continuous cast bar stock, as designated and specified in Table 1.  
1.2 Systems of nomenclature used to designate zinc and zinc-aluminum (ZA) alloys used for casting are described in Appendix X1.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

For purposes of acceptance and rejection, the observed value or calculated
value obtained from analysis should be rounded to the nearest unit in the last
right-hand place of figures, used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance
with the rounding procedure prescribed in Practice E29.
B
Zinc alloy castings may contain nickel, chromium, silicon, and manganese in
amounts of 0.02, 0.02, 0.035, and 0.06 %, respectively. No harmful effects
deleterious effects on alloy performance have ever been noted due to the
presence of these elements in these concentrations and, therefore, analyses are
not required for these elements.

The UNS designations were established in accordance with Practice E527. The
last digit of a UNS number differentiates between alloys of similar composition. The
