Surface treatment effect of brushed stainless steel

• 4 Surface: medium thickness brushed, even and fine texture, showing a matte texture.
• 5 surface: finer texture than NO.4, higher gloss, close to mirror effect but still retaining the brushed texture.
• HL surface: fine straight grain effect, clear texture and consistent direction, with a strong sense of line.
• SB Surface: Uniform matte effect formed by sandblasting process, with fine and non-directional texture.

What is brushed stainless steel?

Brushed stainless steel is a treatment process that creates a uniform texture on the surface of stainless steel through mechanical processing. This process uses tools such as abrasive belts or wheels to sand the surface of the stainless steel to give it a fine linear texture, which gives the material a unique matte finish. The brushed finish not only enhances the aesthetics of stainless steel but also effectively hides fingerprints and light scratches, making it more suitable for high-frequency use scenarios. The brushed process allows the thickness and direction of the texture to be adjusted to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

Characteristics of brushed stainless steel

• Abrasion resistance

The brushed process creates a uniform texture on the surface of the stainless steel that hides minor scratches and reduces the frequency of replacement.

• Durability

Brushed stainless steel inherits the high strength and corrosion resistance of SS steel, able to resist impact and chemical corrosion in use.

• Easy to clean

The texture of a brushed surface can hide fingerprints and stains; just use a soft cloth and neutral cleaner to wipe to restore the luster.

• Aesthetics

The delicate surface texture and matte texture can reduce light reflection and create a low-key but high-end visual. Suitable for a modern minimalist style.

• Good processability

You can choose from a variety of sizes of brushed sheet, brushed coil, brushed steel strip, welded tube, or perforated brushed stainless steel sheet.

Uses of brushed stainless steel

Fields of application

• Electronic products: such as headphones, microphones, cell phones, laptops, watches and other equipment shell, to enhance the grade of the product.
• Household appliances: such as humidifiers, air purifiers, sweeping robots, dryers and other kitchen appliances.
• Architectural decoration: hardware hinges, models, elevator doors, handrails and other decorative materials, adding a sense of modernity and futuristic.
• Industrial equipment: conveyor belts, screening instruments, experimental media, sterilization instruments, biological interventions, etc.
• Transportation: car interiors, subway cars, ship bearings, tie rods, etc.

Application of different surface treatments

• NO.4 surface: mainly applied to kitchen equipment, building decoration, and household appliances.
• NO.5 surface: applied to high-end decoration and electronic products.
• HL Surface: Commonly used for elevator doors, building facade,s and interior decoration.
• SB Surface: Suitable for application scenarios that require a low-profile texture, such as medical equipment and laboratory appliances.

The process of brushed stainless steel

1. Substrate preparation: for high quality stainless steel sheet (such as 304 or 316), preliminary cleaning to remove oil and impurities.

2. Rough grinding: use coarse abrasive belts or grinding wheels on the surface of the stainless steel for preliminary grinding, to remove the oxidation layer and defects.

3. Brushing treatment: according to the needs of the choice of different grit abrasive belts, the steel surface for directional or non-directional brushing treatment, the formation of uniform texture.

4. Polishing: Lightly polish the brushed surface to enhance gloss and remove burrs.

5. Cleaning & Inspection: Remove metal chips and dust left on the surface and perform a quality inspection to ensure uniform texture and defects.

Price Factors for Brushed Stainless Steel

1. Substrate cost: for example, the price difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel is large, 316 is more expensive because of its higher corrosion resistance.

2. Surface treatment process: different drawing effect requires different processes and equipment, so the price will be different.

3. Order quantity: Wanzhi Steel will offer a more favorable price for bulk orders.

4. Size: Plate thickness, plate width, whether it is slit or not, whether it is color-plated or not, as well as roll weight and bundle weight will affect the price.
