How Are Patterns Made on Brass Pull Handles?

The solid brass pull handles with patterns available on the market mainly employ four different manufacturing techniques. 

1. Lost-wax precision casting

A mainstream retro engraving technique. The patterns and handles are cast together, creating a strong three-dimensional sense of depth. European and traditional Chinese brass pull handles are commonly used, and the patterns are firmly attached and will not fall off. 

2. CNC Numerical Control Milling

Using the cutting tool to directly mill the surface of the brass, creating smooth and precise shallow lines and geometric patterns, which aligns with the new minimalist and luxury Chinese style. The texture is of high precision. 

3. Pressing and embossing

Using high-pressure molds, simple textures such as bamboo joints and cross-grain patterns are formed. This method offers high production efficiency and good cost-effectiveness, but is only suitable for simple and regular patterns. 

4. Chemical Etching

This process creates shallow planar patterns through corrosion. The patterns are relatively shallow and have limited wear resistance. It is mostly used for thin copper decorative parts. 

Purchase Tips: Avoid pull handles with surface-applied welding patterns as they may fall off over time, posing a potential hazard. Opt for handles made through integrated molding or CNC processing instead, as they offer better durability.
