The zinc-base dic-casting alloys are the mast widely used. A typical composition is 1.0% copper. 3.9% aluminum, 0.06% magnesium, balance zinc. This alloy has a strength of about 43.000 psi (3.061 atmospheres) with 3% elongaliun in 2 inches (3 centimeters). Typical applications are carburetors, fuel pumps, tools, typewriter frames, instrument cases, and hardware often finished by chromium plating. 

There is a close relationship between magnesium, potassium, and calcium. PTH (see calcium), which regulates calcium, also influences the magnesium balance. Typically, you ll assess semm magnesium, calcium, and potassium together. The normal semm magnesium level is between 1.5 mEq/L and 2.5 mEq/L.
