What common problems may occur with zinc alloy electroplated faucet accessories?

Zinc alloy electroplated faucet accessories are widely used in the market and are favored for their excellent corrosion resistance, aesthetics and durability. However, despite its many advantages, zinc alloy electroplated faucet accessories may also have some common problems in actual use.
Among them, the detachment of the electroplating layer is a common problem. The electroplating layer is a metal coating applied to the surface to enhance the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of faucet accessories, but if the electroplating process is improper or the use time is too long, it may cause the electroplating layer to fall off. This will not only affect the appearance and aesthetics of the faucet accessories, but also reduce its corrosion resistance.
In addition, scale accumulation is another possible problem. After long-term use, minerals in the water will deposit on the surface of the faucet accessories to form scale. Scale not only affects the appearance, but may also affect the smooth flow of water and even cause a drop in water pressure. Therefore, it is crucial to clean the surface of faucet accessories regularly.
In addition, leakage and unstable water pressure are also possible problems. Leakage may be caused by aging or damage to the faucet seal, while unstable water pressure may be caused by improper internal structure design of the faucet or long-term use. These problems will affect the normal use of the faucet, and accessories need to be repaired or replaced in time.
It is worth noting that during use, care should be taken to prevent collision and friction to avoid scratching the surface and damaging the electroplating layer. At the same time, it is also important to regularly check whether the joints of the faucet accessories are loose or leaking, and timely maintenance and care are also crucial.

What are the common surface treatments for zinc alloy electroplated faucet accessories?

As an important part of bathroom equipment, the surface treatment of zinc alloy electroplated faucet accessories is crucial to the product appearance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Common surface treatment methods on the market include chrome plating, nickel plating and spraying.
Chrome plating is a common surface treatment method that can enhance the gloss and corrosion resistance of the product, giving the product a metallic texture and high brightness. The process includes steps such as pickling, nickel plating and chrome plating to form a uniform and dense chrome layer, which effectively protects the faucet accessories from oxidation and corrosion.
Another common surface treatment method is nickel plating, which can increase the hardness and wear resistance of the product and improve corrosion resistance. The nickel plating process is similar to chrome plating, which protects faucet accessories from external erosion by forming a uniform nickel layer.
In addition to chrome plating and nickel plating, spraying is also one of the common treatment methods, providing a variety of color options, increasing wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The spraying process includes surface treatment, primer coating and topcoat coating to form a uniform paint film, which is beautiful and protective.
In addition, there are some special treatment methods such as sandblasting, brushing and polishing, which can be selected according to design requirements and market demand to achieve different appearance effects and functional requirements. These surface treatment methods give zinc alloy electroplating faucet accessories more choices and development space.
