Shower room aluminum profile and stainless steel profile which one is better?

(1) Comparison of corrosion resistance.

1. Rust: aluminum alloy will not be rusted, the main alloy elements have copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc, manganese, secondary alloy elements have nickel, iron, aluminum alloy iron content is very small. Instead of stainless steel, mainly by the surface of the formation of the rich chromium oxide film (protective film) to obtain corrosion resistance, if this film is constantly special damage, the metal surface will also be rusted, of course, that layer of protective film is extremely thin and strong, fine, stable, the general use will not be damaged!

2. Bath cleaning supplies has more or less alkaline, coupled with sedimentation or brushing not enough, the material will be corrosion, stainless steel will not have this problem, but aluminum alloy surface will be corrosion reaction.

3. If the environment salt is high, like living by the sea, stainless steel in the presence of chlorine ions under the environment, corrosion is very fast, it is recommended to use 316 stainless steel, its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength is particularly good, processing hardening excellent, can be used in the conditions of caustic cool, the price will certainly be higher.

(2) Hardness comparison.

The hardness of stainless steel is larger than that of aluminum alloy, and now many shower bars and shower columns are made of stainless steel, which is stronger. Shower room general stainless steel material preferred 304 stainless steel, high temperature resistance, has excellent corrosion-resistant performance and better intercrystalline corrosion resistance.

(3) Appearance effect comparison.

Stainless steel is polished with high brightness, the least surface quality is also more than 8K, is very beautiful, textured. And aluminum alloy, profile surface are after oxidation coating processing, and then how to process will not have the appearance of stainless steel quality.

(4) Cleaning convenience comparison.

1. Scribble on the surface of stainless steel, can be cleaned off, while the surface of aluminum is easy to leave traces, but difficult to remove. And in the bathroom this humid environment, aluminum alloy will oxidize the phenomenon of hanging "white ash", to the cleaning brought a certain degree of difficulty.

2. Kindly remind: when cleaning the stainless steel surface should follow the stainless steel pattern , some surface processing of the pattern is one-way. This is not only because it is easy to clean, but also because it is not easy to breed bacteria.
