How to choose products processed by stainless steel hardware products?

It is understood that the general hardware processing mainly includes copper, alloy, stainless steel and iron The four ingredients also vary widely in price. At present, stainless steel hardware is mostly used in home decoration, but stainless steel has shortcomings such as impure material and easy to print water stains. At present, many families begin to use aluminum alloy accessories. According to industry sources, the aluminum materials claimed by some merchants in the market are actually alloy materials containing aluminum components. The aluminum alloy materials are mixed with other components such as silicon and magnesium. These factors often affect the price and quality of materials. The CEO of a company introduced that the surface treatment processes mainly include oxidation, frosting, electroplating, wood grain and baking paint, etc., and the prices of the products vary greatly. Taking the sliding door frame as an example, the average market price of products using the oxidation and frosting process is per square meter. Rice is about 180 yuan, while the electroplating process products reach about 260 yuan per square meter, a price difference of nearly 45%.

The common aluminum alloy materials on the market are mainly aluminum magnesium alloy and aluminum oxide. The price between the two is There is also a difference of nearly one-third. Since the surfaces of alumina and aluminum-magnesium alloy materials look similar, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish them, but consumers can judge from the aspects of hand feel and water stains. Experts said that the aluminum-magnesium alloy material is relatively heavy, the surface is relatively smooth, it is not easy to appear water marks, and the toughness is good; while the alumina material has a rough surface, which is prone to blackening and water marks. At the same time, if there are slight scratches on the surfaces of the two, the aluminum-magnesium alloy material is easy to wipe off, while the aluminum oxide is difficult to remove. In addition, the door handle will also vary greatly in price due to different hole distances and models.

Beware of stainless steel becoming "stainless iron" Many businesses use stainless steel when promoting stainless steel hardware products Iron substitution, that is, mixing a lot of iron components in the stainless steel material, the price difference is nearly twice. Taking the towel rack as an example, the average price of stainless steel is 200 yuan per piece, while the price of stainless iron is only 70 yuan per piece. On the surface, the two are basically the same, but the surface of stainless steel material is brighter, and the use time of stainless iron is one. Long, the surface is prone to blackening and rusting.    In addition, some counterfeit products use inferior aluminum alloy as raw material, and the surface is plated with a layer of metal light, posing as stainless steel. To judge these two materials, consumers can tap the surface. If a crisp sound is produced, most of them are stainless steel , if it is a dull sound, it is likely to be an aluminum alloy "in a coat".

◆It is better to use a silver mirror in the bathroom. According to reports, the mirrors commonly used in home decoration are mainly divided into ordinary mirrors and mirrors There are two kinds of silver mirrors, and the price difference between the two is about 30%. The average market price of silver mirrors is 80 to 90 yuan per square meter, while the general mirror is only 50 yuan per square meter, and the quality is far from the same. The difference in materials is the main factor that causes the price difference between the two. The back of the silver mirror is first coated with a layer of mercury and then painted; while the back of the ordinary mirror is coated with a layer of aluminum and then painted, the waterproof and anti-fog functions are greatly reduced. When exposed to water, the frame of the ordinary mirror is easy to turn red, and the paint surface is easy to fall off. In addition, processing techniques such as baking paint, printing, and tempering also affect the price of mirrors.

◆The ratio of the main agent of the waterproof coating affects the overall quality. The major factor affecting the quality of the waterproof project is the waterproof coating. According to reports, waterproof coatings are mainly divided into two types: water-based and polyurethane. At present, water-based waterproof coatings are mostly used in home decoration. There are four main categories: waterproofing agent directly added to cement, waterproof coating film without main agent, plus main agent. The rigid waterproof coating film and the flexible coating film with the main agent. A waterproofing agent is added to the cement, which does not have a waterproof effect at all, and is more common in civil construction. At present, rigid and flexible coatings are commonly used, and the difference between them lies in the different ratios of main agent and powder. The ratio of main agent to powder for rigid coatings is 1:8, and the ratio of flexibility is 1:2. The bigger it is, the better the waterproof effect is.
