With the improvement of processing technology, stainless steel faucets are impacting copper faucets. The specific advantages of stainless steel faucets compared to copper faucets are as follows:
1. According to the information, it can be divided into SUS304 stainless steel, cast iron, all plastic, brass, zinc alloy data faucets, and polymer composite data faucet number categories.
2. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion in highly corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt solutions, and is widely used in special professions such as the ocean.
3. Stainless steel is lead-free, acid resistant, alkali resistant, corrosion-resistant, and does not release harmful substances. It does not pollute your water source, ensuring human health, hygiene, and environmental protection. The manufacturing process does not pollute the environment.
4. Copper contains lead and releases the lead element, which is harmful to the human body and can generate copper rust (copper chloride), contaminating your water source, posing a health hazard, and causing severe environmental pollution during the manufacturing process.
5. Stainless steel faucets do not require further treatment to achieve rust resistance; 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 reveal its true color. It is elegant and silver white, easy to clean, and the more you use it, the brighter it becomes. It remains the same and unchanged for 100 years.
7. The electroplating chromium layer on the surface of copper is a chemical adhesion layer, which may oxidize and fall off depending on the quality and thickness of the electroplating. The fast ones gradually lose their appearance luster and pitting within six months and the slow ones within 3-6 years, and the electroplating layer peels off and exposes copper rust, affecting beauty.
8. The hot forging, stamping and stretching process of stainless steel is messy, with high processing costs and great difficulty. The melting point of stainless steel is about 1600 degrees, and the melting point of copper is about 1000 degrees; Stainless steel needs to be hot forged, stamped, and stretched, while copper only needs to be completed by die casting; The hardness and toughness of stainless steel are more than three times that of copper, and the wear rate of machining tools is more than a hundred times that of copper; 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. The casting process of stainless steel faucets is messy, with high processing costs and difficulty, so the price is slightly higher, but lower than the brand's copper faucet.
10. The copper faucet has rich styles and multiple options.
