The most important thing about wire baskets is the material. Currently, the commonly used materials are iron, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and carbon steel. These materials have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The iron is flexible in texture, has good ductility, and is easy to process and shape, but the coating after chrome plating is thin, and it is easy to fall off when it touches the tableware, and it is easy to rust after long-term use; stainless steel has outstanding anti-rust performance but high price; aluminum alloy Good electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability but needs to be painted, but the paint film is afraid of bumps and scratches. Carbon steel has high hardness and high strength, but low plasticity, so nano-dry plating is required.
For most people, the easiest way to judge whether the basket is good or not is to just look at its appearance. The most direct way is to touch it with your hand to see if there are burrs or pitting on the surface. Of course, you should also refer to the following points comprehensively. to choose:
Solder joints: The solder joints should be full, without virtual welding, and the solder joints should not be too large. Generally, the pull-basket solder joints produced by large companies are touch-welded and generally have no welding scars.
Luster: If it is stainless steel, it should show a silver-green mirror light, the mirror surface is bright, and there will be no silver-gray blur (matte)
Wire: The thickness of the wire and the quality of the surface of the pull basket directly determine the material cost of the pull basket, and small manufacturers may cut corners.
Guide rail: The high-quality pull basket adopts a damping slide rail, which is thick in material, high in smoothness, high in bite, and low in noise. It can be pulled continuously 100,000 times and has strong corrosion resistance.
