What Material Is The Military Kettle Made Of?

With the continuous development and growth of our army, the military kettle has also experienced a transformation from primitive rough processing to fine manufacturing technology, and has evolved from an ordinary drinking kettle to a military water purifier that can directly filter outdoor fresh water into direct drinking water. So, what material is the military kettle usually made of?
1. Military kettles, as the main tool for soldiers to drink water daily, usually use aluminum as their shell. This kind of kettle is an indispensable equipment for soldiers to perform combat and exercise tasks.
2. In the early days of the founding of New China, most of the kettles used by our army were continued to be produced by the logistics factories of the Kuomintang period. Their shape is similar to that of Japanese kettles. The kettle body is made of aluminum material, equipped with a cork stopper, and fixed from both sides by a canvas belt. The carrying method is an adjustable canvas strap. Some kettles are also printed with the August 1st Army emblem on the outside, but the wall of this kettle is thin, and the paint layer is not strong enough, which is easy to deform due to bumps during marching and fighting.
3. The cork stopper is easy to deform after a period of use, resulting in water leakage. When the kettle is filled with water and used vigorously, it may wet the clothes of the wearer. If it is filled with hot water, it may also cause burns. In order to solve this problem, the material of the kettle plug was later changed from cork to a phenolic plastic threaded cap, which greatly enhanced the sealing. This also made the kettle the most convenient and practical accessory for the working people in my country at that time.
