Tin, zinc
and lead
Materials for soldering and casting: block tin, sheet-metal solder, solder pastes and wire, white metals, lead and zinc alloys.
K-01 Product group
Joining
materials
This group covers materials that are mostly not used on their own but serve to join others — tin and lead for soldering, solder pastes and wire, white metals for bearings.
Alongside them come zinc alloys, better known as zamak, used for die casting and small series castings.

Densities in the calculator
The client has not specified densities for this group, so the calculator uses standard reference values: tin 7.3 · zinc/zamak 7.14 · lead 11.34 g/cm³, with a practical margin of 0.1 g/cm³. Confirm before publishing.
