Stainless steel surface treatment grade and classification

name surface feature Outline of Manufacturing Method use
original NO.1 silver white Surface treated with heat treatment and pickling after hot rolling Industrial tanks, chemical industry devices, etc., the thickness is thicker from 3.0mm-10.0mm. Applications that do not require glossy surfaces
matt
blunt side 2D Slightly shiny silvery white Hot rolling + annealing shot peening + cold rolling + annealing and pickling For deep drawing processing, such as automotive components, water pipes, etc. General timber, deep drawing timber
matte 2B Silvery white with better gloss and flatness than 2D surface 0.39 micron roughness Hot rolling + annealing shot peening pickling + cold rolling + annealing pickling + tempering rolling Such as tableware, building materials, etc. With surface treatments that improve mechanical properties, it is suitable for almost all applications.
After NO.2D treatment, the final light cold rolling is carried out through the polishing rod
frosted surface NO.3 Has better gloss, with discontinuous coarse lines Products ground with 100-120 abrasive belts It is used for building interior and exterior decoration materials, electrical products and kitchen equipment, etc.
NO.4 Has better gloss, with discontinuous coarse lines, and the stripes are thinner than NO.3 Products ground with a 150-180 grit belt It is used for baths, interior and exterior decoration materials of buildings, electrical products, kitchen equipment and food equipment, etc.
NO.240 Has better gloss, with discontinuous coarse lines, and the stripes are thinner than NO.4 Products ground with a No. 240 abrasive belt It is used in bathrooms, building interior and exterior decoration materials, electrical products, kitchen equipment and food equipment, etc.
NO.320 Has better gloss, with discontinuous coarse lines Products ground with a No. 320 abrasive belt Building materials, kitchen utensils
NO.400 Has better gloss, with discontinuous coarse lines Products ground with a No. 400 grinding belt Building materials, kitchen utensils, food equipment, etc.
brushed noodles HL Silver-grey with hairline streaks Polish the 2D or 2B with an appropriate particle size abrasive to make the surface continuous Continuous grinding with a suitable grain size polishing belt to produce a continuous grinding pattern product (subdivision No. 150-320) Mainly used for architectural decoration, elevators, doors and panels of buildings, etc.
Glossy BA Excellent surface gloss with high reflectivity Usually a bright annealed surface finish with a highly reflective surface Used in home appliances, mirrors, kitchen equipment, decorative materials, etc.
mirror 6K A little worse than a mirror Rough grinding and polishing mirror, decorative panel
8K mirror like Grinding and polishing mirror, decorative panel
