Question of alloy, rolled zinc sheet metal

Q. I have received a quote from a good customer with a specification for 16 gauge "Zinc" sheet metal.
My question is, are there many different alloys?
They do not specify alloy or finish!
Please help.

A. No, there are not many zinc alloys used in rolled sheet applications. ASTM B69 is the standard that covers this type of product. Ney Metals and Umicore are two possible suppliers.
