[China Aluminum Industry Network] Now the mainstream of the shower room hardware is divided into three basic categories: copper alloys, aluminum alloys and stainless steel.
Most of the copper material in the shower room is in the form of a hinge, which is also called a swing door. Copper alloys have good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high hardness, and are not prone to scratches.
Copper is divided into cast copper and forged copper. Casting melts the metal and then flows into a specially shaped cavity. After solidification, it forms a specific shape. Forging is to heat the metal, but it is still solid, and then it is placed on the platform or in a specific shape of the mold. Tools like this are forged into specific shapes. The manufacturing process of cast copper is simple, and can be produced in one piece or in batch. The price is relatively low. However, because of the principle of production, micro-holes are inevitably present, and the compactness is far less than forged copper. Forging can refine metal grains, which are higher in strength than castings. However, molds are expensive to produce and the price is several times higher than that of cast copper. Moreover, in order to enhance the corrosion resistance of copper alloys, it is necessary to add a plating layer, and the degree of adhesion between the plating layer and the copper alloy is an important measure of good or bad.
The cost of forged copper itself is high, coupled with high technological requirements, so it is used in high-end shower room.
Aluminum alloy refers to titanium-magnesium alloy in the shower room. Titanium-magnesium alloy can be said to be an enhanced version of aluminum-magnesium alloy. Titanium-magnesium alloys are superior to aluminum-magnesium alloys in terms of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, but are more difficult to process, especially hot working. Titanium-magnesium alloy is three to four times stronger than ordinary aluminum alloy. The higher the strength and toughness, the greater the pressure that can withstand. Therefore, considering the comprehensive safety, economy, and aesthetic considerations, many sliding doors for professional shower room manufacturers are mainly titanium-magnesium alloys.
The purity of aluminum alloy is a very important indicator. For the sake of cost savings, some shower room manufacturers use mostly recycled aluminum scraps. The surface is characterized by sandy eyes, pinholes, and lines. The color is dark, and the texture is soft and easily deformed or broken. The shampoo, bath lotion and other skin-cleaning products that have been in contact with the shower room for a long time have more or less acidity and alkalinity, and the profiles are difficult to clean and rust easily after a long time, which may easily cause the shower room to blew. Good shower room manufacturers, such as the selection of Furui shower room, are strictly controlled, using the original aluminum, the original aluminum texture is more uniform, the surface will be processed through multiple layers, can be colored and colored a variety of colors, solid coating, bright color, preservative.
Most stainless steel in the shower room refers to 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is a grade of stainless steel produced according to the American ASTM standard. Its corrosion resistance is very good. In order to maintain corrosion resistance, 304 stainless steel must contain more than 18% of the Chrome, more than 8% nickel. There are many manufacturers to introduce the so-called stainless steel shower room, the actual chromium and nickel content are not up to standard, is the production of 304 stainless steel waste mixed with other materials synthesized, not only corrosion resistance is not high, and safety is not guaranteed. In view of the production cost of 304 stainless steel, most of the lower-priced stainless steel shower rooms fall into this category and are not recommended for purchase. As we all know, the hardness of stainless steel is very high, according to this characteristic, the shower room made of stainless steel is not easy to deform, long-term stability.
Comprehensive comparison (only compare high quality products of three materials), hardness: forged copper> stainless steel> titanium magnesium alloy; corrosion resistance: stainless steel> forged copper> titanium magnesium alloy; easy molding ): Titanium-magnesium alloy> Forged copper> Stainless steel.
Therefore, in order to purchase a shower room, first of all, on the premise that the structure is reasonable, safe, and the materials are qualified, the material shape can be selected according to personal preferences to find a shower room that suits itself.
