A customer is wanting me to manufacture some Fasteners out of Zinc. I first thought they meant they wanted zinc plated Fasteners but after discussing it with their engineers the customer came back and confirmed the wanted Fasteners made from zinc.

I believe it is a 400 series stainless.
I know B50A951A1 Stainless 422
Thanks ahead of time for any help on this.
Does anyone have any information on a ductility test. All I know is they mentioned 12%x4D. It sounds like they are talking about testing the elongation, but I am not sure.
Thanks for the help!
