• Harder metals such as copper and aluminum cannot be bent, so stainless steel is still the most common metal used to make metal displays.
• High-grade displays often use copper, which has a more ornate appearance.
• When metal plating, the workpiece should have a hook hanging place, if not, the factory will give the metal parts a welding hook ring, and after the plating is completed the removal of the hook ring, so sometimes you can see the hidden place on the plating parts will see no color welding scars.
