Some stainless steel plates have a smooth surface and can reflect things clearly, almost like a mirror. Stainless steel mirror plates are made of stainless steel. Why do they have such a magical visual experience? This is about the mirror polishing method of stainless steel. Take a stainless steel plate and polish the initial surface of the BA, 2B or No. 1 stainless steel plate into a mirror-like surface (scientific name: 8K mirror or No. 8) through mirror polishing.


So what is a stainless steel 8K mirror panel?

The literal definition of 8K: The corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on its alloy composition (chromium, nickel, titanium, silicon, manganese, etc.) and internal structure. The decisive element is chromium, which can form a passivation film on the surface of the steel. It isolates the metal from the outside world without oxidizing and improves the corrosion resistance of the steel plate. The "8" in 8K refers to the proportion of alloy components (304 stainless steel mainly refers to the content of nickel element), and "K" refers to the reflectivity level achieved after the polishing process (the mirror reflection level is K level). 8K reflector is also called chrome-nickel alloy steel reflector grade.

8K mirror definition: The surface of stainless steel has been polished and polished. The surface is as bright as a mirror. Reflective objects reflect people. It is commonly known as mirror 8K and is corrosion-resistant. The mirror plate is a colored or etched base material for subsequent processing. Mainly used for various decorative or metal optical products. Ordinary mirror stainless steel is also derived from 6K, 10K, 12K, etc. Due to the different fineness required by customers, the "definition" is that the larger the quantity, the higher the mirror fineness.

Stainless steel mirror plates are the most common and popular stainless steel decorative panels. You can see it almost everywhere in life. "Mirror" refers to the surface state of stainless steel, which can reflect light and illuminate people's shadows like a mirror. Ordinary stainless steel mirrors are divided into: ordinary 8K, fine grinding 8K, and 10K. 6K is a rough grinding and polishing mirror plate, and its effect is better than The mirror surface is slightly worse; 10K is a finely ground and polished mirror plate, which is comparable to an ordinary mirror; while 12K refers to a super finely ground and polished mirror plate, which can meet optical purposes. The higher the value, the higher the reflectivity and the higher the brightness. At the same time, the plate The better the quality, the less or no sharpener you will spend.

Stainless steel mirror panels have a wide range of uses. They are widely used in architectural decoration, interior decoration, office decoration, elevator decoration, industrial decoration, equipment decoration and other decoration fields.

However, no matter what level or type of steel mirror plate, there is currently no unified standard. It is just that the higher the brightness, the greater the reflectivity, and the fewer surface defects (white spots, pinholes, orange peel lines, water waves, etc.), the better Can be recognized by customers. In fact, this is entirely a strategy to satisfy people's desire for higher market expectations and does not have much practical significance. The same high brightness can be collectively referred to as 8K.
