With the improvement of processing technology, stainless steel faucets are impacting copper faucets. The specific advantages of stainless steel faucets compared with copper faucets are as follows:
1. According to the material, it can be divided into SUS304 stainless steel, cast iron, all-plastic, brass, zinc alloy faucet, polymer composite faucet and other categories.
2. Stainless steel is corrosion resistant in acid, alkali, salt solution and other strong corrosive media, and it is widely used in special industries such as ocean.
3. Stainless steel is healthy, environmentally friendly, free of lead, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, does not release harmful substances, does not pollute your water source, and can ensure human health, sanitation, and environmental protection. The manufacturing process does not cause pollution to the environment .
4. Copper contains lead and releases lead elements. Lead is harmful to the human body. At the same time, it will generate (copper chloride) copper rust, pollute your water source, endanger your health, and cause serious pollution to the environment during the manufacturing process.
5. The stainless steel faucet does not need to be processed to achieve the effect of not rusting; but the surface of the copper faucet must be electroplated to ensure that the copper will not rust due to contact with water or air.
6. The essence of stainless steel only needs to be polished on the surface to show its true color. The silver-white is permanent, never rusty, elegant and durable, easy to clean, and the more you use it, the brighter it will be. It remains the same for 100 years.
7. The electroplated chromium layer on the copper surface is a chemical adhesion layer. Depending on the quality and thickness of the electroplating, it will oxidize and fall off. The faster one will lose its luster and pitting in 3-6 years, and the electroplating layer will peel off and expose the copper rust, which will affect the appearance.
8. Stainless steel hot forging, stamping and drawing process is complicated, the processing cost is high, and it is difficult. The melting point of stainless steel is about 1600 degrees, and the melting point of copper is about 1000 degrees; stainless steel needs to use hot forging stamping and drawing process, copper only needs to be finished by die casting; stainless steel hardness and toughness are more than three times that of copper, and the loss rate of machining tools is one that of copper. More than a hundred times; the loss rate of stainless steel polishing materials is more than ten times that of copper; the total processing cost of stainless steel is also more than ten times that of copper.
9. Stainless steel faucet has complex casting process, high processing cost and difficulty, so the price is slightly higher, but lower than branded copper faucet.
10. The copper faucet has rich styles and many options.
