What are the differences between stainless steel nameplates and aluminum nameplates?

Signscan be seen everywhere in our daily lives, such as metal signs on householdappliances, electronic digital products, car keys, phone cases, and otherproducts. However, these metal signs can also be different, with the mostcommon being the material. In the production of metal signs, commonly usedmaterials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, pure nickel metal, zincalloy, etc. Today, the editor will mainly introduce the differences betweenstainless steel signs and aluminum signs.

1.Characteristicsof stainless steel nameplates:

1.1 Theproduction of stainless steel signs generally uses 304 stainless steel, and themanufacturing process is corrosion (also known as etching). Under theconditions of exquisite surface styles and extremely high precisionrequirements in modern times, the production of stainless steel signs oftenuses etching technology. The etched surface has the characteristics of concaveconvex three-dimensional feeling, smooth surface without burrs, and highprecision.

1.2 304stainless steel material has a stable chemical reaction structure, andstainless steel material has characteristics such as high temperatureresistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidationresistance. Due to its chemical structure, stainless steel has a stablechemical structure compared to aluminum. Under the same conditions andenvironment, stainless steel is less prone to oxidation, rusting, anddeformation. Therefore, many users who require long-term exposure to rainwateror wet, cold, and high-temperature environments for outdoor use choose to usestainless steel materials for those signs that need to be stored in a shiny andnon deformed state. In short, the characteristic of stainless steel signs isthat they are sturdy, durable, and not easily deformed.

2.Characteristicsof aluminum material signs:

2.1 Interms of signage production process, the production of aluminum signage is muchsimpler and more convenient compared to stainless steel signage. It onlyrequires the electrolysis of aluminum and cryolite to produce it. Aluminummaterial has a much lower density compared to stainless steel material, socompared to stainless steel signage, aluminum signage is lighter in weight.

2.2 Inaddition, the chemical structure of aluminum material is not very stable, andits corrosion and oxidation resistance is weak. Due to its low chemicalstructure density and light weight, aluminum signs are more prone todeformation during use.

3.Comparisonof the advantages and disadvantages of stainless steel nameplates and aluminumnameplates

3.1 Stainlesssteel nameplate: It has stable structure, firm and durable, not easy to deform,anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance, strong oxidation resistance, and isnot easy to rust.

3.2 Aluminumsigns: light weight, unstable structure, easy to deform and rust, pooroxidation resistance, and prone to corrosion.

3.3 Stainlesssteel material has strong concave convex three-dimensional effect, and thesurface style looks good. It is commonly used for high value-added productdecoration.

3.4 Comparedto stainless steel plate, aluminum plate is cheaper, and because the productionprocess of aluminum signs is simpler and faster, it is not as complicated asthe production process of stainless steel signs, so the production cost is alsolower.
