The bodies and chassis of most of the metal toy cars today are actually made of *ZAMAK (German) "zink, aluminium, magnesium and kupfer", also known as Zamac (US) "zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper". The New Jersey Zinc Company developed zamak alloys in 1929. Zamak has also been referred to over the years as pot metal or white metal. The most common zamak alloy is "zamak 3", but "zamak 2", ""zamak 5 and "zamak 7" are still commercially used. These alloys are most commonly used for die cast. Zamak alloys (particularly #3 and #5) are frequently used in the spin casting industry. *(taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
