How to distinguish whether a copper faucet is genuine copper?
Everyone knows that copper has good ductility, so currently, copper alloy is still the main raw material for better faucets internationally. However, as the price of copper continues to rise, the price of copper faucets continues to rise, and the main body of those high-quality faucets is cast from copper. So some unscrupulous merchants, in pursuit of high profits, are willing to use materials such as stainless steel, zinc alloy, magnesium alloy, or aluminum alloy to replace them. This not only reduces product quality, but also directly affects customer health. So how do you tell if a copper faucet is really copper?
Based onGuangdong faucet manufacturerBased on our experience, we have made the following inspection methods for your reference:
1. First of all, copper faucets, after polishing and electroplating, have a crystal clear and bright appearance, with recognizable light, no corrosion marks, and no oxidation spots, while alloys do not.
2. Carefully observe the cross-sectional interface of the faucet to see if it is a copper body. It is worth noting that many merchants, to avoid exposing flaws, use electroplating or copper water to treat the cross-sectional interface. You can use a small knife to scratch the cross-sectional interface to determine its authenticity.
3. Knock once and use your fingers to tap the main body of the faucet to check if the sound is dull. If the sound is loud when tapping, it is stainless steel.
4. Touch - touch, copper plated products have a thick and heavy feeling when touched by hand, while products of the same volume are heavier. Copper products have a higher surface resistance after electroplating, while stainless steel and other products have a smoother hand touch after electroplating.
5. By the way, if the price of the product is super cheap, but for no special reason, you need to be careful. Due to the copper price being there, merchants cannot do business without making money.
6. Check the accessories. Good products also have accessories (fasteners) made of copper or stainless steel. If they are made of iron, you need to consider them.
