Different materials used in bathroom products

Some common materials used in bathroom products: 204 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, brass.

Difference between 204 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel：

The most basic difference between 204 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel:

1. 304 stainless steel contains up to 8 points of nickel, and its corrosion resistance is stronger than that of 201 stainless steel. The price is more expensive, but the 201 stainless steel pipe will not rust as long as it is well maintained.

2. In terms of strength (pressure tolerance), 201 stainless steel is high, because 201 stainless steel contains high Mn (manganese) and carbon content is also high in 201 stainless steel. These two alloys determine the strength (pressure tolerance), and the comprehensive mechanical properties are 304 Stainless steel is good. But the corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is two grades higher than that of 201 stainless steel.

On the whole, 304 stainless steel is of higher quality. Gotonovo has upgraded 304 stainless steel that many product materials use. As follows：

The difference between stainless steel and brass

Brass has the best electroplating effect, and is generally the material used for high-end products. Zinc alloy secondly, electroplating is not as good as brass, and it is often used in combination with brass.
Stainless steel is generally electroplated or brushed. It is not as thick and high-grade as brass, but it is cost-effective. In most cases, American buyers prefer the brass material because the brass material is obviously thick and high-quality.

Most of Gotonovo's showers and some faucets are made of higher quality brass.
