Who works better, liquid metal or wave metal?

2024-11-21

Introducing 5 recently popular metal finishes:
1, Aluminum foam 
2, stainless steel corrugated sheet
3, Illusion stainless steel plate
4, Wave aluminum
5, Liquid metal

1. Aluminum foam
Aluminum foam is a metal sheet made by adding additives to pure aluminum or aluminum alloy and then undergoing the foaming process, which has the characteristics of both metal and air bubbles.
Characteristics
a. Lightweight, high strength, good plasticity.
b, good anti-rust ability; good electrical conductivity.
c. Various surface treatments, strong aesthetics.
d, easy processing, simple construction, easy installation.
Specification
Aluminum foam common size specifications: 1220x2440mm, 1220x3660mm, length can be customized, the longest up to 6000mm; thickness of 12.7mm or 25.4mm, large holes in the plate can be 43.2mm thick.
Construction process
Dry hanging→main keel→sub keel→hanging board or self-tapping nails combined with gluing→main keel→sub keel→glueing (according to the climate conditions and windbreak design to choose dry hanging or gluing)
Ceiling installation can be glued, I-beam hanging, magnetic suction, or even directly connected with screws.

2. Stainless steel corrugated sheet
Stainless steel corrugated sheet is based on the reflective properties of 8K mirror stainless steel, using stamping to achieve a smooth concave and convex stainless steel plate surface, the final achievement is similar to the water ripples flowing effect.
Characteristics
a, safety, environmental protection, fire prevention
b, strong and durable, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and colorfastness
c, strong decorative effect, mirror effect has a very three-dimensional feeling
d, easy to clean, maintenance-free, does not leave fingerprints
Specification
Common stainless steel water ripple plate material for 304 steel, 304L steel, 316 steel, thickness 0.6mm ~ 1.5mm, width 0.5m, 0.8m, 1m, 1.22 m, 1.5m, length can be customized. Color and pattern can be customized.
Construction process
a. Cut and fold the edges according to the actual size modeling on site before installation.
b. Use the base plate for priming.
c. Installation of background wall with glass glue or add keel frame.
d, ceiling ceiling glass glue keel + screw installation and fixing.
e. If there is special modeling, need to cooperate with using a welding machine for welding.

3. Colorful stainless steel plate
Illusion stainless steel is a kind of stainless steel.
To stainless steel, corrosion resistance is the main characteristic, and chromium content of at least 10.5%, the maximum carbon content of not more than 1.2% of the surface of the steel, through the resin coating, chemical and electrochemical coloring, PVD vacuum coating and other technologies to achieve the illusion effect of stainless steel sheet.
Characteristics
a. both metallic gloss, but also the illusion of a dreamy effect, the material itself is very decorative.
b, corrosion resistance, combustion resistance (high temperature), good molding, long service life, easy to clean.
c, resource-saving materials, do not release formaldehyde and radiation, are 100% recyclable, and are more environmentally safe.
d. Good process performance, widely used.
Specification
The common size specifications of phantom stainless steel sheet are 1000×2000mm, 1219×2438mm (or 1220×2440mm), 1219×3048mm, 1219×4000mm, 1500×3000mm, 1500×6000mm, and so on.
The thickness range is usually 0.4~16mm.
Construction process
a, hanging straight, set square, actual measurement, line, layout, make sample wall.
b, pop-up skeleton installation position, mark the position of the fixed parts.
c, there are no embedded parts using expansion bolts to fix the connectors; embedded parts can be used to connect with the wall on the main structure of the embedded parts welding, and do rust treatment.
d, keel, and connectors can be fixed with bolts or welding.
e, phantom stainless steel plate fixed with screws, fixed block by block on the keel.
f, without doing the slot socket, to leave a seam, with sealant and other elastic materials to do inlay treatment.

4. Wave aluminum
Wave aluminum, also called aluminum wave plate, corrugated plate, or corrugated aluminum profiles, is a kind of aluminum veneer processed by machine forming or continuous bending like a wave.
Features
a. Lightweight, high strength, good plasticity.
b, good anti-rust ability; good electrical conductivity.
c, a variety of surface treatments, and aesthetics.
d, easy processing, simple construction, easy installation.
Specification
The common size specifications of wave aluminum are: width 100~250mm, length can be customized, up to 6000mm; thickness 1.0~3.5mm.
Construction process
Measurement and placement → proofreading construction drawings → buried plate construction → Steel frame construction → adjustment → frame full welding → anticorrosion treatment → hidden acceptance → Plate inspection → plate installation → cleaning → acceptance → withdrawal of the cradle.

5. Liquid metals
Liquid metal, also known as metal paint, is a special coating material whose main components are metal powder and liquid resin.
Characteristics
a. The surface has the texture of real metal, which gives it a unique visual effect and artistic sense.
b. has good plasticity, and can be adapted to a variety of shapes and curves of the surface, to achieve personalized design needs.
c. It has good weather resistance and corrosion resistance, and the fire resistance varies according to the substrate.
d, It is a renewable and recyclable material, in line with environmental protection requirements.
e, Scratches or damage can be repaired to restore its original appearance.
Specification
The common specifications of liquid metal panels are: 1220mm×2440mm and 1220mm×3000mm as well as some shaped shapes.
Construction process
The construction process of liquid metal is mainly related to the substrate used, and the specific process is the same as its substrate process, such as wood-based board substrate by the wood-based board process can be constructed.
Here mainly talk about the processing of liquid metal panels, generally customized by the factory, the approximate process is: on-site measurement → custom order → factory production is completed → site installation.
Texture customized models, there will be an additional step of sampling, the specific process is: communication texture → sampling → confirmation of the sample → on-site measurement → customized order → factory production is completed → on-site installation.
