Introduction of Stainless Steel Sheet

Stainless steel sheet is a metal material widely used in several industries, including construction, automotive, medical equipment and kitchenware. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance and strength, stainless steel sheet is the material of choice for many engineering projects. At the same time, stainless steel materials have an easy-to-clean surface, can be recycled and reused, and have an irreplaceable role in the food and medical industry.

Surface state of stainless steel plate

There are ten common surface types, they are No. 1, 2B, BA, No. 4, HL, 6K, ordinary 8K, fine grinding 8K, 8K+HL, sandblasting. Different surface states are suitable for different scenarios, Jiangsu Tisco Tianguan Metal Products Co., Ltd. introduces you the different applications and differences of these different surface states, so that you can use them as a reference when purchasing and using stainless steel materials.


Surface Type

Description

Characteristics

Common Applications

Rough, unpolished

Industrial uses, structural parts, welding applications

2B

Cold-rolled, annealed, pickled, and lightly rolled

Smooth, matte finish, easy to clean

Kitchen equipment, architectural decor, medical equipment

BA

Bright annealed reflective surface

HL

Hairline finish created by grinding

Linear texture, adds visual depth, decorative effect

Decorative panels, architectural facades, elevator interiors

6K

Semi-mirror polish

High gloss but not as reflective as 8K

Architectural decoration, decorative applications

Regular 8K

Standard mirror finish
