metal

As we all know, metal buttons are fasteners used in clothing or other related items to provide certain fastening or decorative functions, including rivets, jeans buttons, snap buttons, metal labels, eyelets, brooches, adjustment buttons, hooks, etc.
Although buttons are small, their manufacturing process is not simple. As far as metal buttons are concerned, their production process can be divided into stamping process, die-casting process and combined process. Generally speaking, metal buttons produced by stamping process are considered as metal products, while metal buttons produced by die-casting process are usually called alloy products.
Metal buttons: snap buttons, claw buttons, jeans buttons, rivets, eyelets, hooks, etc.
Alloy buttons: hand sewn buttons, labels, brooches, etc
Stamping process
The stamping process utilizes the plastic deformation and elasticity of some metal materials such as copper, iron and aluminum. Metal materials will be transformed into the required shape through pressing, punching and other processes, and their state will not change in the whole manufacturing process.
Production process: manufacturing molds – cutting raw materials into strips – Stamping – surface treatment – assembly – quality inspection – packaging and delivery

Metal buttons are one of the most popular buttons. Their surface is smooth, durable and decorative. The materials used to make metal buttons are also different, which are generally divided into the following materials:
Zinc alloy button
Yellow Tung skin button
Stainless steel button
Aluminum button
Iron button

Zinc alloy buttons and brass buttons are generally common in the market.
Stainless steel buttons are also popular because they are less sensitive to rust and cost much less than zinc alloy buttons and brass buttons. In recent years, with the rising prices of alloy and brass materials, stainless steel buttons have also begun to occupy a place in the clothing button market.
There are also aluminum buttons that can achieve special effects on the market, especially in cloth buttons, which are widely used because their softness is not easy to damage the fabric, and even better than brass.
Iron buttons are less used in the market. Its biggest disadvantage is that its surface is easy to rust and corrosion, and the product cannot pass the needle test.

Now let’s take a closer look at the two most commonly used metal buttons, namely zinc alloy buttons and brass buttons.

Zinc alloy button
It is recognized as a kind of high-end metal buttons. Zinc alloy buttons are often used in high-end jeans, coats, uniforms, etc. It is also the most expensive metal button. However, the quality of the goods is much better if you pay for them.
Zinc alloy buttons are usually made of 5# zinc alloy, mainly composed of zinc and aluminum. These buttons will be polished after the die-casting process, which will remove burrs along the edge of the button or in the hole, and the rough surface will be treated before the electroplating process.
