Is it better to choose steel fence or aluminum fence for balcony fences?

Time:2022-06-10

Steel fence and fence are both emerging in modern fences. Since its inception, it has been highly sought after by consumers. Iron balcony fences are rust proof, corrosion-resistant, and impact resistant. Aluminum alloy balcony fences are easy to install, convenient to transport, and cost-effective. Steel fence and aluminum fence have their own advantages, and consumers find it difficult to choose between the two for a while. To make consumers more clear when choosing steel fence and aluminum fence, let's carefully count the advantages of steel fence and aluminum fence:

The characteristics of steel fence:

1.Chemical performance: The resistance to chemical and electrochemical corrosion of iron guardrails is relatively good in steel, second only to titanium alloy.

2.Physical properties: Heat resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and even ultra-low temperature resistance.

3.Mechanical properties: According to different types of iron, the mechanical properties vary, and martensitic iron has high strength and hardness. Austenitic iron has good plasticity and low strength, but its corrosion resistance is relatively good among iron. Ferritic iron has moderate mechanical properties, low strength, but resistance to oxidation.

Process performance: Austenitic iron has good process performance and good plasticity, which is suitable for pressure processing. Martensitic iron has poor process performance due to its high hardness.

Characteristics of aluminum fence:

1.Aluminum fence do not require painting and maintenance, and are long-lasting, eliminating the fatigue and trouble of maintenance. The overall cost is relatively low.

2.The production and installation are simple and fast, using professional plug-in connections, greatly improving installation efficiency.

3.With a wide variety of specifications and a variety of styles to choose from, it combines European and American styles with current fashion, showcasing both luxury and modern beauty.

4.Special spraying or oxidation, UV resistant, non fading, non yellowing, non peeling, non cracking, non foaming, and non insect infestation. Aluminum alloy guardrails have a service life of over 60 years, and their impact resistance is relatively weak compared to iron guardrails. Iron balcony guardrails and aluminum alloy balcony guardrails both have their own unique advantages, and the selection of these two types of balcony guardrails also needs to be considered from the perspective of the usage environment.
