High-End Customization Solutions for Hardware Products

As a leading manufacturer of high-end hardware products, we understand the unique challenges of balancing artistic design with functional requirements. Our recent collaboration with Junying on a custom faucet project for an Italian luxury brand highlights the importance of precision and innovation in achieving this balance. The project involved creating a vintage-style zinc alloy faucet with intricate relief patterns and functional water holes, all while meeting stringent quality standards.

The Challenge of High-End Hardware Customization

Our clients demand products that are not only functional but also visually stunning. The custom faucet project was no exception. The design included 0.5mm deep relief patterns and 1mm diameter water holes, requiring both artistic precision and functional reliability. Traditional handcrafting methods were impractical for mass production, and surface treatment requirements were extremely strict, with a salt spray test duration of over 1000 hours.

Junying's Solution: Zinc Die Casting and CNC Machining

To meet these demanding specifications, Junying proposed a solution that combined zinc die casting with precision CNC machining. Their expertise in zinc die casting and CNC machining was crucial in achieving the desired outcome.

Step 1: Die Casting

The first step was to create a prototype using 3D printing to verify the casting process. This ensured that the intricate relief patterns were clearly defined, with a demolding angle of only 1.5°. The zinc alloy casting process was then used to produce the initial rough casting, which included the complex relief patterns and functional water holes.

Step 2: CNC Machining

The rough casting was then processed using a five-axis CNC machining center. The center was used to mill the curved contours, maintaining a uniform wall thickness of 0.3mm. This step was crucial in ensuring the structural integrity of the faucet while preserving the intricate design elements.

Step 3: Surface Treatment

The final product underwent a three-stage electroplating process, consisting of copper, nickel, and chromium layers with a total thickness of 15μm. This process not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the faucet but also ensured that it passed the 1200-hour salt spray test without rusting.

Quality Control and Testing

The final product was subjected to rigorous quality control measures. The surface roughness was measured to be below Ra0.2, ensuring a smooth and polished finish. The faucet also underwent a sealing test, withstanding a pressure of 10MPa without leakage. These tests confirmed that the product met both aesthetic and functional requirements.
