What are the Types of Materials for Hardware Components?

1.Stainless steel: Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant alloy material commonly used in the production of bathroom hardware, kitchen hardware, etc. There are various types of stainless steel, such as 304 stainless steel and 201 stainless steel.

2.Copper: Copper has good electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as high corrosion resistance. Copper is commonly used to make various pipes, wires, cables, etc. It can also be used to make hardware such as locks, hinges, etc.

3.Aluminum alloy: Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and is commonly used in the production of door and window hardware, furniture hardware, etc. Aluminum alloys have various alloying elements, such as 6061 aluminum alloy, 7075 aluminum alloy, etc.

4.Zinc alloy: Zinc alloy is a low melting point alloy with good casting performance and corrosion resistance, commonly used in the production of various hardware components such as locks, hinges, screws, etc.

5.Steel: Steel is one of the most common materials in hardware, with high strength and wear resistance, commonly used in the production of tools, molds, shaft parts, etc. There are various types of steel, such as carbon steel, alloy steel, etc.

6.Titanium alloy: Titanium alloy is a high-strength, lightweight metal material with good corrosion resistance and high temperature performance, commonly used in the production of hardware in high-end fields such as aerospace and medical equipment.

7.Other: In addition to the common hardware materials mentioned above, there are many other types of materials, such as plastic, rubber, ceramics, etc., commonly used to make low strength and low wear resistant hardware parts.
