This material is easy to mold and cast for shapes and it offers great possibilities for finishes. It could be used to produce all of the buckle types. And metal buckles made of zinc alloy are easier to custom make in designs, shapes and finishes.
Aluminum Alloy
Featured by extra lightweight compared other material. Metal buckles made of aluminum alloy have strong strength and excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, especially when anodized (a protective oxide layer is applied). They perform well in harsh environments like marine, saltwater, or humid conditions. Colors of aluminum alloy buckles show a smooth and subtle luster and maintain their beauty for quite a long time.
Stainless Steel
Typically made from grades like 304, 316, or 201 stainless steel, which are skin friendly. They are highly corrosion resistant and offer superior strength and durability. Buckles made of stainless steel often offer sleek, high polished finishes with a clean, glazed, lustrous look. They retain shine and smooth even over time. Those buckles can withstand extreme stress, wear, and heavy use without deforming or breaking.
