I was thinking of using it to try and zink plate metal.

It’s just plane zink
Or it might be zinc.
Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
The vast majority of American made zinc wheelweights are cast with ZAMAK 3, which has 3.5-4.3% Aluminum and 0.25% Copper, if it is RoHS Compliant. Foreign manufacturers may use a different zinc alloy.

Could they still be used for plating? I have wondered about maybe using some to plate brass.Originally Posted by JonB_in_Glencoe
DISCLAIMER: I have done absolutely 0 research into the idea. I don’t even know if it would be possible. It was just an idle thought as I was sorting wheel weights one day.

Good question, I have no idea.
I have researched a little bit about ZAMAK 3 as a adjunct in boolit alloy.
It should be easy to research it in regards to Plating.
good luck.
