The so-called & other;
The 3 c products & throughout;

And consumer electronics (

The three known collectively, which is also called & other;
Information appliances & throughout;
。
Now 3 c industry booming, all kinds of new products have mushroomed, emerge in endlessly.
Especially for mobile phones and tablet computer market is hot.
A mobile phone or tablet contains as many as dozens of materials of parts for direct contact with the consumer's case, its quality, tactility is undoubtedly has a great influence on daily use.
the current common shell material mainly include plastic, glass, metal, fiber, leather and so on. Tablet back shell is plastic material such as millet, HTCM8 fuselage is aluminum alloy material, and 4 s back is glass material, huawei honor chang play version of the back shell is imitation leather material.
different material has different characteristics, different manufacturers to select different materials have their reasons. But to sum up nothing more than appearance, texture, tactility, robustness, etc. For metal materials, its forming process is mainly a integrated, CNC CNC machining, die casting, stamping, plastic material is mainly injection, extrusion, etc.
for vendors, at present the most commonly used plastic and metal materials, the biggest cost is actually not pure material itself, because the current common plastic shell made of engineering plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate (PC), metal materials such as zinc alloy, magnesium alloy. The material of raw materials has been quite mature production technology, in the context of large quantities of purchase, capitation not much to the cost of raw materials on each product, and not is the main reason for the final pricing for each product. For makers of cost in fact mainly lies in the yield of production process and product.
the competitive adopts 304 stainless steel materials such as the recent noisy of millet mobile phone, but in fact is a very ordinary material 304 stainless steel, the cost of raw materials is not expensive, is the border of the machining process can really increase technology spending. Reports have pointed out that the integration of HTCOne shell has just started mass production, the rate is only 40%, the process cost is not low. Again for instance from the nokia N9 polycarbonate material of the best known, is a common PC plastic, but because nokia adopted a integrated shell design, make full use of transparent properties of polycarbonate itself, created a unique system of color. Even later iPhone5c, millet tablet on the glossy plastic shell, is also the ABS + PC material, while the cost would be larger, but the shape of the products in the resistance to impact, surface glossiness and hardness are very well. Says here actually have an awkward fact that our country polycarbonate ( PC) The status of the raw material is still in short supply, significantly dependent on imports, but it is an important producer of aluminium.
another is solid considerations. In fact, from the perspective of engineering mechanics, some plastic shell than intensity ( The ratio of strength and weight) Even is higher than aluminum alloy, as long as it is slightly thicker back shell, the strength of no less than aluminum alloy, enough to meet the daily use of the consumer, after all these products in the hands of consumers is not used as mechanical parts.
today, more and more homogeneity product, the appearance of a product is undoubtedly the most direct way to attract attention. And the plastic material on the look and feel really than metal material, always give a person a kind of cheap feeling, it's indifference. So manufacturers also want to the many ways, such as the metal wiredrawing grain on plastic shell, it looks really has a lot of ascension, but plastic is plastic, swindled glasses but cheat not hand. Starting and tactility, plastic and metal feeling is different and some like jade, some like cool and refreshing, each have each advantages of plastic and metal. And the key point is the reason why fingerprints, looks pretty shell a eyeful are fingerprint, this will definitely affect the mood. But for the booming industry today, the engineers have ways of nature. Such as fingerprint proof coated glass, or to fluoride surface layer on the material surface plating, or for some special surface treatment, however, sometimes in order to balance, may effect is not so perfect.
