Mazak 5 like Mazak 3 can be cast by the hot chamber diecasting process. Mazak 5 is preferred where its slightly higher tensile strength and hardness are desired or wherer maximum castability is required.

As cast dimentional stability is not quite as good as that of Mazak 3. Mazak 5 is easily machined and formed and can be readily finished by a variety of techniques including painting, powder coating and electroplating where required.
