Introduction of stainless steel faucet

The faucet is present in 16th century Isdanpur, but the reality is generally more modern. For a long time in the middle, the faucets were basically used in the palace and some important buildings, and they were mostly made of brass. The price of copper faucets was generally higher. Later, faucets entered the homes of ordinary people from the palace, and presented cast iron faucets, all-plastic faucets and stainless steel faucets. Cast iron faucets were quickly screened because they were easy to rust and pollute the water quality. At present, there are mainly copper faucets and stainless steel faucets on the market. Is copper faucet better or stainless steel better?


The water quality of the faucet
The faucet, also known as the faucet, as the name implies, is the outlet of household tap water, so the copper faucet is still better than the stainless steel one. First of all, it depends on whether it can ensure the quality of the water.
 
1. The raw materials of the stainless steel faucet do not contain lead and will not seep out harmful substances to ensure the health of the water. The surface of the stainless steel faucet is polished and has less pollution to the environment. Some poorly treated electroplating layers are easy to fall off after a long time and also affect the water quality. The stainless steel faucet does not need to worry about this problem.
 
2. What is the matter with the poisonous copper faucet? In fact, it is necessary to clarify that the copper faucet does contain lead, but we must correctly understand that the precipitation of lead in the copper faucet is far less than that in the road exhaust. content. The reason why there are toxic copper faucets is that some manufacturers add excessive lead elements in order to facilitate processing and reduce costs. Therefore, when purchasing, choose a reputable brand manufacturer and produce and process copper faucets in accordance with national standards. Not only will it not cause poisoning, but copper can also have a blocking effect.
 




Aesthetic properties of the faucet
Different raw materials reflect different visual and tactile effects and psychological feelings. The difference in the characteristics of the raw materials determines the difference in the aesthetic characteristics. Copper faucets can be flexibly polished, shaped and electroplated in various styles, while stainless steel faucets are relatively simple in both color and shape, and there is a certain gap between the sophistication and artistry of details and copper faucets.
 

Processing method of faucet
Why is stainless steel good but rarely used for faucets? This also depends on the processing method. Copper mining mainly uses "stamping process" and "sand turning process", both of which are relatively mature now, and copper itself is relatively soft in texture, low in melting point, easy to process, and has strong plasticity, which can ensure mass production. Controllable. Stainless steel raw materials, especially 304# stainless steel, are hard and tough, so it is difficult to form, and even the forming cost is much higher.

 
The hardness of stainless steel is more troublesome to process, but it can also be seen that stainless steel faucets are durable and can maintain a long service life without special care, reducing the trouble of frequent replacement and maintenance.
