What are the surface treatment processes for hardware handles and their respective characteristics?

The surface treatment process of hardware handles usually includes the following common types, each with its unique characteristics and applicable scenarios:

1. Electroplating: Electroplating is a common surface treatment process for hardware handles, including chrome plating, nickel plating, etc. Electroplating can increase the glossiness of hardware handles, improve surface hardness, prevent oxidation and corrosion, and make handles more decorative and durable.

2. Spray coating: Spray coating is a common surface treatment method that achieves surface beautification and protection of hardware handles by spraying different colors of paint or materials. Spraying can choose different colors according to needs, suitable for various styles of furniture and cabinets.

3. Anodizing: Anodizing is a surface treatment process that forms an oxide layer on the surface of a metal, usually applied to aluminum hardware handles. Anodizing can increase the hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance of hardware handles, while also achieving multiple colors and effects.

4. Wire drawing/polishing: Wire drawing and polishing are mechanical processing methods used to treat the surface of hardware handles. Wire drawing is usually used to create a matte or frosted effect, while polishing can make the surface of hardware handles smoother and brighter.

5. Sandblasting: Sandblasting is a surface treatment method that uses high-pressure airflow or a spray gun to sandblast particles on a metal surface, cutting and processing the surface into a rough or textured effect. Sandblasting can increase the anti slip and tactile properties of hardware handles, commonly used in industrial style or outdoor furniture.

6. Chemical treatment: Chemical treatment is the cleaning, decontamination, or pre-treatment of the surface of hardware handles through chemical methods such as acid and alkali washing, in order to enhance surface adhesion and coating effect.

Each surface treatment process has its unique characteristics and applicable scenarios. Choosing the appropriate surface treatment process can improve the appearance, texture, durability, and compatibility of hardware handles. It is very important to choose the appropriate treatment process according to actual application needs and styles.
