Types and characteristics of metal buttons

1. Alloy Button
Alloy is a new type of material that is composed of two or more metallic or non-metallic elements, melted, mixed, and adjusted to obtain specific properties and applications. The advantages of alloy button are high hardness, high strength, light weight, and relatively high price. Button suitable for use in high-end clothing.

2. Stainless steel button
Stainless steel refers to steel materials with characteristics such as oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, usually containing elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.The advantages of Stainless steel button are cadmium free, lead-free, not easily discolored, and not rusty, making it suitable for use in high-end clothing or high demand environments.

3. Brass button
Brass is highly favored for its good toughness and strong conductivity. Brass button perform well in color, have moderate hardness, and are easy to process and carve. However, due to the easy oxidation and loss of luster of brass, surface treatment is usually required to improve its anti oxidation ability.

4. Aluminum button
Aluminum, as a lightweight metal, has the characteristics of drainage, sweat wicking, and lightweight. Its luster is also very fine, but aluminum is prone to rust and will lose its luster after oxidation. Aluminum button is generally suitable for low-end clothing, luggage, etc., and the price is relatively cheap.

5. Zinc alloy button
Zinc alloys have strong corrosion resistance, good processability, and low cost, making them widely used in button manufacturing. Some zinc alloy buttons adopt surface treatment methods such as silver plating, chrome plating, brass plating, and spray painting, making the colors bright and beautiful. However, due to the low hardness of zinc alloys, they are prone to scratches and collisions, resulting in a relatively short service life.

Overall, selecting metal button materials requires consideration based on actual needs. Aluminum and alloy is suitable for mid to low-end applications, zinc alloys, stainless steel, and brass are suitable for high-end products, while zinc alloy is suitable for mid to low-end products. At the same time, technological content and process treatment can also affect the quality and service life of products.
