How to see the bathroom faucet is all copper or alloy?

2023-02-02

In general, copper is brownish-red, aluminum is white with a little gray, and iron is grayish to black; there are many types of zinc alloys, and the colors of alloying elements and proportions vary greatly. If you want to buy a faucet, go to some reputable stores to buy it, because there are more and more faucet brands on the market, but the quality is indeed getting worse, and you will buy a faucet of poor quality if you are not careful. When buying a faucet, you must pay attention to what kind of material it is. The following are the things you should pay attention to when buying a faucet, I hope it will be helpful to you:


1. Look, first of all, high-quality copper faucet, after polishing and electroplating, its surface is crystal clear and shiny, light can be seen, no corrosion, no oxidation spots, but alloys are not. Secondly, carefully observe the cross-section interface of the faucet, whether it is a copper body or not, there is one point worth noting, there are many profiteers, in order to prevent this point from revealing flaws, the section interface is treated with electroplating or copper water, and you can use a knife to scrape at the section interface. You can judge its authenticity with one click.

2. To touch, copper electroplating products have a heavy feeling when touched by hand, and products of the same volume are heavier. After electroplating, copper products have greater surface resistance, and stainless steel and other products are slippery to the touch.

3. Knock, knock on the main body of the faucet with your fingers, whether the sound is dull, if the sound is crisp when knocked, it is stainless steel.

4. Ask, if the price of the product is super cheap, but there is no special reason, you have to be careful, because the price of copper is there.

5. Check, check the accessories, the accessories (fasteners) of good products will also be made of copper or stainless steel, if it is made of iron, you have to be more careful.

Therefore, don`t judge by weight now, because the current zinc alloy material is several times lower than copper material, and many zinc alloy faucets are made so heavy that it is difficult for us to distinguish!
