Quality Identification of Brass Faucet

Posted by hw on March 11th, 2020

With the improvement of people's quality of life, a large part of the faucets in the current home market are already stainless steel faucets, while brass faucets are now used less often. Some people say that the quality of brass faucets is not good, and it is easy to rust, but it is not. Good brass faucets need to be able to discern. Below, KEDIBO will introduce the quality discrimination of brass faucets.

Brass Faucet-Lead Content Stainless steel faucets are usually compared to brass faucets. Stainless steel faucets do not contain lead poison, and excellent brass faucets have minimal lead content and will not cause any damage to the human body, but it cannot be said that stainless steel faucets are better than yellow. Copper faucet, so faucet can not only look at whether it contains lead, quality is the most important.

Why is the brass faucet rich in lead? I wonder if we thought about this question yet. The main reason is that brass belongs to copper-zinc alloy. When brass is forging a faucet, brass will be doped with a small amount of lead. Then lead is clearly harmful to the human body.

Why should we participate? Manufacturers are too unprofessional! In fact, the reason for this is that participation in lead will greatly improve the machinability of brass castings. Lead is insoluble in copper-zinc alloys, but it can have an excellent lubrication effect. If you do not participate in lead, it will be very difficult to make faucets. The foundation cannot be produced. Lead meets the air on the surface of the faucet, it will form a layer of oxide film. When it encounters water, it will peel off, so that lead dissolves in water, causing lead to be separated out, which affects people's health. Therefore, excellent brass faucets will be used at the end of faucet manufacturing, using lead washing technology to remove lead, so that lead content is minimal, in line with national regulations.

On the market, faucets with a price of tens of yuan are not considered by the foundation. The key material will use residual brass, which has a higher lead content. Therefore, we must not touch the low-end brass faucets. No advantage. Brass faucet-workmanship quality Therefore, the demand for an excellent brass faucet has the following qualities: firstly use excellent brass raw materials as raw materials; precision workmanship must be done, no burrs, no scratches, no bright and dark spots; use of lead technology, the content of lead It should be lower than the national standard, maybe much lower than the national standard. It should be done without any harm to the human body. The electroplated layer should be bright, lubricated, and the adhesion of the coating should be good. After a 24-hour salt spray test. Then I simply use a stainless steel faucet, and save the choice. Stainless steel faucets are indeed the general trend, but some advantages of brass faucets, stainless steel faucets can not be achieved. And the production technology of stainless steel faucets is messy and the cost is high. There are not a few of them that are really good together, and some brands of stainless steel faucets are not satisfactory.

The above are some introductions of KEDIBO's quality identification of brass faucets. In fact, both brass and stainless steel have their own shortcomings, but these shortcomings can be ignored as long as you buy excellent products. Optional.
