Handle: Aluminum Alloy VS Zinc Alloy, Own Qianqiu
Mar 15, 2024
Aluminum alloy and zinc alloy handles are very common hardware accessories in daily life, and their excellent performance and outstanding performance have won the choice of many family consumers.
Aluminum alloy VS zinc alloy, each has its own advantages, depending on where it is used. Zinc alloy handle die casting cost is cheap, if the aluminum alloy die casting, the mold cost is very high!
Regarding the price of aluminum products, aluminum alloy handles have certain advantages. The same size, but more than 0.5 times the weight of zinc alloy. The additional cost in the later stage is higher than that of oxidation. The use of aluminum profiles will be cheap, but aluminum alloys have good plasticity, low strength and high specific strength.
Zinc alloys have higher strength and greater compressive strength than aluminum alloys, but there is no absolute limit. The relative density of aluminum alloy is small, the strength is large, the compressive strength is good, and the weight is large.
Aluminum alloys have a better finish, and zinc alloys are cheaper than aluminum alloys for the same weight. Due to the high density of zinc alloys, the price difference between zinc alloys and aluminum alloys of the same volume will not be too large. Compared with high-quality 304 stainless steel and copper, it is more cost-effective and more suitable for ordinary family use. Aluminum alloy is not easy to oxidize, but its strength is not as good as zinc alloy material, and it is easy to be oxidized by air in the air for a long time, and it will become very brittle and easy to break.
In general, there is no problem with hardware locks, no matter what material, as long as the lock itself is normal, which material is not very different.
Aluminum alloy has low density, but high strength, close to or more than high-quality steel, good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and has been widely used in industry, and the amount is second only to steel.
The specific gravity of zinc alloy is about 2.5 times that of aluminum alloy, and the price is comparable. Therefore, in terms of material cost, zinc alloy is 2-3 times higher than aluminum alloy.
