When we talk about the materials used in making hospital furniture, there is an wide variety to choose from. Usually, the framework of hospital furniture, be it the hospital bed or chair or table or stool, is made of various materials like

• Iron Steel
• Alloy Steel
• Chromium
• Wrought Iron
• Aluminum
• Carbon Steel
• ERW Steel
• CRC Tube
• Galvanized Sheet
• Wood

A brief idea of the materials
Iron Steel
Iron and steel is used in a wide range of important structural materials. Steel is a generally strong, hard, durable, malleable alloy of iron and carbon, used widely in making bed frames.

Alloy Steel
Alloy steel is a type of steel alloyed with other elements to improve the hardenability of thick sections. Steel with higher alloy contents are called stainless steel or simply high alloy steel depending on the alloying elements.

Chromium
Chromium is properly finished stainless steel and makes stainless steel stainless by providing a protective oxide coating. The useful attribute of stainless steel is the protective oxide coating which prevents rust is a hygienically cleanable surface.

Wrought Iron
This is an easily welded or forged iron containing approximately 0.2% carbon and used in making furniture with intricate curved work.

Aluminum
Aluminum furniture is very common. One reason for this is that aluminum does not rust but it does oxidize. The better quality furniture is made of heavy tube or cast aluminum.

Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is a malleable, iron-based metal. It is actually a type of steel that is composed mostly of carbon and relies on it for its structure and is the most widely produced steel. Steels can be cast to shape from which finished parts are formed, forged, machined, stamped or otherwise shaped.

ERW Steel
These are electric resistance welded steel tubes used widely in making bed, table, chair frames of hospital furniture.

CRC Tube
When we talk about CRC tube, it implies cold rolled steel sheet in coil which can be used in making furniture frames.

Galvanized Sheet
Galvanized Sheet is carbon steel sheet coated with zinc and uses to make table tops or cabinet coverings or even bed frames.

Wood
Wood is most common material used to make bed frames, tables, chairs, stool, racks, cabinets used in the hospitals. Wood furniture is given various finishes like paint, polish, varnish, shellac, lacquer etc.
