What are the materials of the handle of the cabinet?
Zinc alloy is the most widely used material in the handle industry. Zinc alloy has a low melting point and is easy to be formed by die casting. it can be used to cast hardware with complex shape and thin wall, and the surface of the casting is smooth. Zinc alloy surface can be treated by electroplating, spray painting, polishing, grinding, wire drawing and so on, so the zinc alloy handle has rich shapes, novel styles and various colors.
Aluminum alloy, aluminum alloy processing is generally divided into deformed aluminum alloy and die-casting aluminum alloy. Deformed aluminum alloy is often used in handle industry to facilitate processing into various shapes and lengths of handles. Therefore, the aluminum alloy handle style is relatively simple, and its advantage is that the length is more and the price is cheap.
Pure copper, copper has a high melting point, so it is not suitable for die-casting, so the copper handle is mostly made of casting. The value of copper itself is higher than that of aluminum, zinc and other metals, and the cost of casting process is also higher, so the price of copper handle is on the high side, which is suitable for some high-end furniture.
