Remember this!
Zinc and spelter are both metallic elements that are used in various industrial applications. However, zinc is a pure chemical element that is commonly used in dietary supplements and as a coating for steel, while spelter is a zinc alloy that is often used in decorative objects and die-casting. Additionally, spelter has a lower melting point than zinc and can have a bronze-like appearance.
