In the shower room market, stainless steel shower profiles and aluminum shower profiles are the most common shower profiles. Many owners do not know which of the stainless steel shower profiles and aluminum shower profiles are good. Today, with a small series of stainless steel shower room profiles and aluminum shower room profile comparison, for your reference.
Stainless steel shower room profile and aluminum shower room profile contrast
First, the degree of corrosion resistance
1. In terms of rust: The aluminum alloy does not rust. The main alloying elements are copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and the minor alloying elements are nickel and iron. The iron content of the aluminum alloy is very small. . In contrast, stainless steel mainly depends on the surface of the chromium-rich oxide film (protective film) to obtain anti-rust ability. If the film is subjected to continuous special damage, the metal surface will be rusted. Of course, the protective film is extremely thin and strong, Fine, stable, general use will not be damaged!
2, bath cleaning supplies are more or less alkaline, long time, plus deposition or brushing less than the number of materials will be corrosive, but stainless steel is not the problem, and aluminum alloy Corrosion reaction occurs on the surface.
3. If the salt is high in the environment, like living in the sea, the stainless steel will corrode rapidly in the presence of chloride ions. Therefore, 316 stainless steel is recommended for this purpose. The corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength are particularly good. Excellent hardening, can be used under harsh conditions, the price will certainly be higher.
Second, hardness comparison
The hardness of stainless steel is greater than that of aluminum alloys. Now many shower rods and shower columns are made of stainless steel, which is more solid. 304 stainless steel is the preferred stainless steel material for shower room, high temperature resistance, excellent stainless corrosion resistance and good resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Third, the appearance of the effect of comparison
Stainless steel is polished with high brightness, and the minimum surface quality is also above 8K, which is very beautiful and texture. The aluminum alloy, the profile surface has been processed by oxidation coating, no matter how the processing will not have the appearance of stainless steel.
Fourth, the convenience of cleaning
1, in the stainless steel surface doodles, you can wash away; and the aluminum surface is easy to leave traces, but it is difficult to remove. And in the wet environment of the bathroom, the aluminum alloy will be oxidized to cause "white ash" phenomenon, which brings certain difficulties for cleaning.
2. Remind everyone that when cleaning the stainless steel surface, it should be cleaned along the lines of stainless steel, and some surface processing lines are unidirectional. This is not only because it is easy to clean, but it is also not easy to grow bacteria.
V. Price comparison
Stainless steel shower room is more expensive than aluminum shower room. Shower room is not big, although the one-time investment is higher, but in terms of safety and useful life, the above-mentioned stainless steel has a higher cost performance.
Generally speaking, the aluminum alloy is durable, oxidation-resistant, rust-free, stretch-moulding process is simple and mature, and the appearance is simple and beautiful. Of course, the most important thing is affordable, so it is still the mainstream of the shower room. Stainless steel is generally used in small quantities for high-end products due to its high cost and complicated process.
It should be noted that many small brands in the market cater to consumers' preference for stainless steel. They use low-quality stainless steel or stainless steel as the main material to impersonate 304 stainless steel to deceive consumers. These so-called stainless steels are It can't reach the quality index requirement of 304 stainless steel at all, and it is easy to rust and corrode when it is used in the bathroom. Its use effect is even worse than common aluminum alloy.
Information on the stainless steel shower enclosure profile was introduced here for everyone. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone. If you still have something you don't understand, you can leave a message to Xiaobian at the bottom. We will answer your questions as soon as possible.
