1. The Raw Materials.
The good-quality brass hardware accessories are generally copper: H59, while the brass used by some brands is H39 or H49, relatively speaking, the quality is not as good as the former.
2. Technological Process.
Before electroplating, good-quality hardware generally needs to go through five processes: fine grinding, medium grinding, three-time grinding, finishing, and sand processing, and the brass has a bright and smooth appearance and strong adsorption. Then, the surface oil is removed with an alkaline agent, and the imported ultrasonic equipment is used for precision dewaxing, which is very clean after treatment, so the adhesion is strong.
Inferior brass hardware accessories only need to go through fine grinding, medium grinding, and fine grinding, copper appearance brightness is general, there are pinholes, general adsorption. Then, using water to remove oil and wax, the dewaxing effect is not complete, so the adhesion is poor, resulting in a simple drop of the coating.
3. Electroplating Process.
The electroplating process should be treated with electropaint, which is more wear-resistant and not easy to scratch. After electroplating, the combination of copper and coating is very strong, the appearance is as bright as new, there are no pinhole black spots and other appearance quality problems, strong anti-corrosion, long service life.
The electroplating process of inferior brass hardware accessories is relatively simple: layer plating domestic glue copper, the second layer acid copper plating (incomplete cleaning), the third layer nickel plating (there are many small pinholes), the fourth layer chromium plating, the fifth layer is plated with clear protective oil (the appearance is very simple scratch). The bonding degree of the residual copper coating in general, the electrocoating is thin, easy to fall, the appearance is not enough, there are pinholes, black spots, and other appearance quality problems, poor anti-corrosion function, short service life.
4. The Price.
Generally speaking, The price of the shower room with high-quality copper hardware accessories is relatively high, while the price of the shower room with inferior copper hardware accessories is relatively low.
