How to choose the surface treatment process for glass hardware?

Stainless steel: stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, for some of the corrosion resistance requirements are not extremely high stainless steel glass hardware, simple polishing or brushing treatment can show its metallic texture and aesthetic degree.

Hardware Material
Stainless steel: stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, for some of the corrosion resistance requirements are not extremely high stainless steel glass hardware, simple polishing or brushing treatment can show its metallic texture and aesthetic degree. If you need better decorative effect and corrosion resistance, you can also electroplating or passivation treatment. Passivation treatment can form a protective film on the surface of stainless steel to further improve its corrosion resistance.
Aluminum alloy: glass hardware made of aluminum alloy is commonly used oxidation treatment, the formation of oxide film can not only improve corrosion resistance, but also through electrolytic coloring or dyeing process to obtain a variety of colors to meet different decorative needs. In addition, aluminum alloy can also be sprayed or electrophoresis treatment to enhance its decorative and weather resistance.
Copper alloy: Copper alloy hardware usually has good texture and decorative properties, and is often plated by electroplating process, such as nickel-plating, chrome-plating, copper-plating and so on, in order to improve its surface hardness, corrosion resistance and glossiness. Some special surface effects can also be obtained through chemical plating or electrolytic plating, such as imitation antique copper color, bronze color, etc. to create a retro and elegant atmosphere, which is suitable for some glass products with special styles, such as classical style glass doors and windows and art glass decorations.
Durability and maintenance requirements
Durability: If you want the glass hardware to have a long service life and good durability, you need to choose the surface treatment process that can provide better protection performance. For example, when the plating layer is thick enough and of good quality, it can maintain the appearance and performance of the hardware for a long time; the film layer formed by oxidization treatment and electrophoresis treatment also has good adhesion and wear resistance, which can effectively prolong the service life of the hardware.
Maintenance requirements: Different surface treatment processes have different maintenance requirements. Polished and electroplated bright surface is relatively easy to leave fingerprints and scratches, need to be regularly cleaned and maintained; while brushed, sprayed and other surfaces are relatively easier to clean and maintain, not easy to appear obvious fingerprints and scratches, daily only need to use a damp cloth to wipe can be kept clean and tidy.
