With the development of stainless steel processing technology, new technologies will continue to emerge, and stainless steel pattern plates will become more and more popular. It is anti-slip, anti-rust, anti-corrosion, durable and beautiful. Punch punched with raised chevron and raised cross pattern. Advantages of stainless steel pattern plates: beautiful, high quality, easy to clean, maintenance-free, impact-resistant, pressure-resistant, anti-scratch, and no fingerprints. After scientific testing, the transmission efficiency, scratch resistance, and compression resistance are all better than ordinary stainless steel plates, which can reduce friction by 30%-70%, significantly improve the efficiency of the sliding surface, and correspondingly reduce surface wear. It can also expand the scope of use of machinery and equipment. So how are stainless steel pattern plates made?


1.Embossed

This is also the most commonly used method at present, and it is also a lower cost method. By applying pressure to a mold, die or roller, localized material is plastically deformed to obtain a pattern. Pressure processing includes stamping, hydrostatic pressing or rolling. There is internal stress after stamping. Use the above method to reduce stress and deformation. Depending on the tensile properties of the mold and stainless steel plate, the punch depth can be deep or shallow, which can become a permanent sign of stress. Stainless steel pattern plates are processed using this process.


2.Chemical corrosion method

Through various printing techniques or photo engraving, the surface of the stainless steel plate is first covered with a patterned anti-corrosion film and then etched in a suitable corrosive solution. After removing the film, a high-precision pattern was obtained. This method is suitable for mass production. This is how we commonly make currency plates and black titanium marble.


3. Engraving and milling

Use mechanical equipment such as engraving machines, profiling machines, and printing presses to operate rotating tools for milling or manual engraving. This method can only be engraved on flat steel plates to facilitate deep milling. This method is expensive but has a strong three-dimensional feel.


4.Sandblasting method

Use compressed air to spray high-speed silicon carbide on the surface of the stainless steel plate surrounded by the template to form a sand mold. The surface produced by the sandblasting method is rough, making it difficult to spray thin strip patterns, and the depth generally does not exceed 0.08mm.


5.Electrochemical corrosion

In a suitable electrochemical corrosion solution, the surface of the stainless steel plate is etched with an auxiliary electrode to obtain an etching pattern. The etching speed is fast and the etching depth is large, requiring special equipment.


Most processing companies on the market purchase hot-rolled or cold-rolled stainless steel plates from steel mills, which are formed by mechanical stamping. This kind of product is concave on one side and convex on the other side, and is usually used in general civilian decoration occasions. There are many cold-rolled products of this type, and most of the 2B/BA cold-rolled stainless steel pattern plates on the market are of this type.
