Simbi yataishandisa pakukanda kufa inosanganisira zingi, mhangura, aruminiyamu, magnesium, lead, tin, uye lead-tin alloys etc. Kunyange zvazvo simbi yakakandwa isingawanzoitiki, inogonawo kuitika. Hunhu hwemasimbi akasiyana panguva yekukanda kufa ndeaya anotevera:
•Zinc: Iyo inonyanya kufa-yakandwa simbi, inodhura kana ichigadzira zvidimbu zvidiki, zviri nyore kupfeka, yakakwirira yekumanikidza simba, yakakwira plastiki, uye hupenyu hurefu hwekukanda.
•Aluminium: Hunhu hwepamusoro, kugadzirwa kwakaoma uye dzakatetepa-madziro castings ane yakakwirira dimensional kugadzikana, yakakwira corrosion resistance, yakanaka mechanical properties, high thermal conductivity uye magetsi conductivity, uye simba rakakwirira pakupisa kwepamusoro.
•Magnesium: Nyore kumichina, yakakwirira simba kune huremu reshiyo, iyo yakareruka pane inowanzo shandiswa die-cast simbi.
•Mhangura: Kuoma kwepamusoro uye kusimba kwakasimba kwegora. Iyo inonyanya kushandiswa die-cast simbi ine yakanakisa mechanical zvivakwa, anti-kupfeka uye simba padyo nesimbi.
•Mutobvu nemarata: Yakakwira density uye yakakwirira dimensional kurongeka kune yakakosha corrosion kudzivirira zvikamu. Nezvikonzero zvehutano hweveruzhinji, iyi alloy haigone kushandiswa sechikafu chekugadzira uye nzvimbo yekuchengetedza. Lead-tin-bismuth alloys (dzimwe nguva iinewo mhangura shoma) inogona kushandiswa kugadzira mabhii anopera nemaoko uye kupisa stamping mukutsikirirwa kweletterpress.
