Add zinc alloys?

ZAMAK is listed under the alloys of aluminum, but the ZAMAK alloys are mostly zinc. Should a category of zinc alloys be added to this page? Chuckhoffmann 20:41, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

all lists are very useful so zinc alloys should be added together with their recommended usage.

I have been searching for a list of aluminium equivalents. One country uses a set of numbers and another country a completely different set of references. I am looking for an aluminium that can be pressure die cast and then anodised. Needless to say the aluminium should not contain silicon

[edit] Color coded diagram

It would be neat to include a diagram of alloy composition, with constituent elements coded by color. Probably the most useful presentation would make each alloy a horizontal bar, divided into colored blocks whose width indicates percentage. A sensible ordering could be devised. This would allow rapid visual appraisal of alloy composition. If I have time, I will have a go at constructing such a diagram (automatically) from a textual table.

[edit] tx10 alloy?

Where can i find information for a mill alloy (tx10) hardness 62RW?
