We often see hardware accessories in a variety of shapes on various handbags. For good textured accessories, its glossiness and smoothness are excellent, looking shiny and giving a mirror effect.
Today’s topic focus on handbag hardware accessories materials and how to processing surface treatments to achieve ideal effect.
Hardware Accessories Material
Handbag hardware is made from metals, such as iron, copper or aluminum, but most hardware today is made from zinc alloys.
Production processes and surface treatment
1.Mold Making
Handbag hardware accessories are produced from mold making, designed with pictures, specifications, and dimensions as required. The moduli are then turned on based on the setup data. After the mold is made, it needs to be tested. After the mold is confirmed to be eligible, mass production can begin.
2.Die Casting
Assembled qualified molds onto die cast machine for pressing goods
3.Polishing Treatment
It is only rough after die casting, and the burr from edges will need polishing.
First of all, use the grinding wheel to remove the burr, and then use sisal buffs with polishing yellow rouge 115-series to polish the surface, finally use cloth buffs with our polishing white rouge (specific model please contact us) for light extinction, so that the surface of hardware accessories is more smooth and fine.
If the polishing treatment for this step is not done well, it will affect the subsequent process – electroplating, so be sure to do well on the hardware accessory surface treatment.
