The badge is now popularized by more and more companies. It can not only be used as a representative of personal identity and occupation, but also to a certain extent, it is also a representative of corporate image. However, many companies feel that they are not professional enough in choosing materials when customizing metal badges. Today, the editor of Guogong Hardware comes to talk to you. What materials can be selected for customizing badges?
The first choice: iron material
Iron is one of our most common materials. It has a characteristic of good hardness and relatively cheap price, so the
Metal Badge made of iron is much cheaper, and the effect after plating or baking paint on the surface of the iron badge The bronze badges are very similar and have a good texture. However, there is a disadvantage of custom-made iron metal badges. If you go for a long time by sea, it is easy to rust, so we do not recommend foreign customers to choose iron badges.
The second choice: copper material
Copper, which contains brass, red copper, copper, etc., and it is the first choice metal for high-end badges, and among them, copper is used for the production of enamel badges, and brass and bronze are mainly used for custom-made metal badges such as enamel badges and paint badges. . Copper is a relatively soft metal material. It uses more materials to make metal badges. The produced metal badges have beautiful appearance and high quality. The general thickness is 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm or 1.8 mm, and the medallion thickness is generally 3 mm. .
The third option: stainless steel
Stainless steel is also called stainless iron, and is mainly used to make printed badges, also known as glue badges, and its thickness is generally 0.5mm and 0.8mm. The main features of customized stainless steel metal badges are strong corrosion resistance, metal durability and high cost performance, and its surface is printed with rich colors and outstanding decorative effects.
The fourth choice: zinc alloy sterling silver gold
Zinc alloy is the best material for die-cast metal badges. Zinc alloy has several characteristics that are very suitable for customized metal badges, suitable for making three-dimensional badges and double-sided
Commemorative Coins. It has five characteristics:
1. Good casting performance, can be used to die-cast rice-shaped dense parts with complex shapes and thin walls, and the casting surface is smooth;
2. The surface can be electroplated, painted, sprayed and other processes;
3. No iron absorption, no mold sticking etc. during die casting;
4.It has good mechanical and wear resistance at normal temperature;
5. Low melting point, melting at 385 degrees, easy to die-casting, etc.
Of course, metal badges made of zinc alloy also have their disadvantages, such as poor corrosion resistance, and their service life is much worse than copper badges.
