[gingery_machines] Re: ZA-12 scraping

 

Think of ZA-12 the same as Al just stronger and machines better than some aluminum due to the copper content, etc. You can buy pre made ZA alloys, some have trouble finding a good zinc source!

I've only ever poured aluminum (unless lead, solder, and Wood's metal count), but I'm interested in the improvement of mechanical properties of the ZA-12 over the Al. The one question that I haven't seen answered is if scraping the ZA-12 is any easier or harder than Al. I presume the ZA-12 is easy to machine, but then again, I've never tried it.
