Nowadays, there are many bathroom accessories in the building materials market, with a wide variety of styles and different quality. But in fact, the basic ones used are:
copper, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and copper alloy. Today, YangHan will analyze the difference between copper, stainless steel, aluminum alloy and copper alloy.
Copper alloy is currently the best bathroom accessories material, and it is also recognized as the best material. Copper alloy has good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high hardness, and is not easy to have traces. In addition, the alloy copper has good metal processing performance, and can be stamped into different product shapes according to different molds, and there is a lot of molding space in the product shape. Copper products can have a variety of color options, and the surface is beautiful and generous, but copper products are expensive, and are currently the most expensive bathroom accessories.
Stainless steel bathroom accessories is a mid-range product. Stainless steel mainly refers to 304 stainless steel or 201 stainless steel. It has the advantages of not easy to rust, shiny surface and metallic texture; Long term contact will not cause light color or discoloration of the contact, and it is easy to clean. However, due to the high hardness of stainless steel, it is difficult to weld, so the styles are relatively simple and generous. However, this problem has been changed by casting 304 products in recent years. Low grade stainless steel (such as SS201 and ss410) will rust. The higher the chromium content of stainless steel, the less likely it will rust. The chromium content of 304 stainless steel is 16%, which has good stability and strong corrosion resistance. Even if it is placed in a humid environment for a long time, it will not rust.
Belongs to mid-range materials. Zinc alloy is a mainstream material emerging in the current market. Zinc alloys are relatively soft and cannot be stamped and formed. Generally, they can only be cast by molds, so the styles can be varied. Zinc alloy products are generally chrome-plated. After electroplating, the surface is smooth and translucent. After electroplating, the surface is bright and clean. After electroplating, the surface of relatively high-grade products can generally show human shadow, and the durability and corrosion resistance are very good.
Aluminum alloy contains very little iron, which is called space aluminum in the market. Now it belongs to low-grade materials. Space aluminum cannot be electroplated, and the surface is generally oxidation or wire drawing treatment, so the products are basically matte, with a matte effect. The biggest problem with matte products is that they are difficult to clean. More importantly, the weight of aluminum alloy products is very light, and the bending performance is not very good. But the prices are generally relatively cheap, and the styles are currently pretty good.
The price of copper products is generally very high, followed by stainless steel SUS304, then zinc alloy products, and then stainless steel 201. The cheapest is space aluminum.
These different products have high and low prices.When buying, it is mainly based on the ability of the wallet to do things.
