The manufacturing materials of the system window have a significant impact on its service life. Different materials have different characteristics and properties, which directly affect the lifespan of the system window equipment.
I. Metal Materials
Metal materials are widely used in the manufacturing of system windows, such as aluminum alloy, steel, and iron. Metal materials have high strength and rigidity, providing good support and structural stability. They also have anti-corrosion and weather resistance properties. However, metal materials also have some problems, such as being susceptible to corrosion and oxidation, which may lead to the formation of oxide layers, surface wear, or fatigue fractures of the metal material. These problems may reduce the lifespan of metal materials and impose higher requirements on the stability and durability of metal materials in harsh environmental conditions.
II. Plastic Materials
Plastic materials are also widely used in the manufacturing of system windows, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and polycarbonate (PC). Plastic materials have the advantages of light weight, good insulation, good fire resistance, and corrosion resistance. In addition, plastic materials are easier to be processed into shapes than metal materials, meeting the manufacturing requirements of different types and sizes of system window equipment. However, the strength and rigidity of plastic materials are relatively low, and they are easily affected by ultraviolet radiation, leading to aging and a decrease in lifespan. Moreover, plastic materials may be affected by external factors such as high and low temperatures and chemicals, causing deformation, cracking, or loss of durability.
III. Glass Materials
Glass materials are mainly used in the manufacturing of windows in system windows, such as tempered glass, laminated glass, and insulating glass. Glass materials have the characteristics of transparency, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and non-aging. They can provide good insulation, sound insulation, and waterproofing performance. However, glass materials are prone to breakage when subjected to external force impact. Their strength is relatively low. Additionally, when the temperature difference is too large, glass materials are prone to cracking due to thermal expansion and cold contraction. Therefore, when manufacturing system window equipment using glass materials, some reinforcement measures should be taken, such as using tempered glass or laminated glass, to improve their strength and impact resistance.
IV. Composite Materials
Composite materials consist of different materials and can fully utilize the advantages of various materials while compensating for their shortcomings. Currently, some new composite materials such as composite materials and reinforced materials have begun to be applied in the manufacturing of system windows. These materials can provide higher strength, rigidity, and durability, as well as anti-corrosion and anti-aging properties. However, composite materials have higher costs and greater processing difficulties, so their application should be balanced considering cost and performance.
In summary, the manufacturing materials of system windows have a significant impact on their lifespan. Metal materials have high strength and rigidity, but are susceptible to corrosion and oxidation. Plastic materials have the advantages of light weight, good insulation, and fire resistance, but have relatively lower strength and durability. Glass materials have the characteristics of transparency, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance, but are prone to breakage. Composite materials can fully utilize the advantages of various materials, but have higher costs and greater processing difficulties. Therefore, when manufacturing system window equipment, suitable materials should be selected based on specific needs, and corresponding measures should be taken to extend the lifespan.
