In some cases, even with an applied finish your material could be left with minor imperfections—often but not always invisible to the naked eye. All stainless steels are iron-based alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium. For example, some polishes can create a discoloration on the surface—think of a ‘checkerboard’ look to your metal.

The resulting stainless steel finish is capable of reflecting clear images. This finish is obtained using a bristle type brush or fine abrasives. Applied finishes may further enhance the surface appearance and environmental performance of your product. 0000001167 00000 n
Surface consistency is key to this type of finish. This finish uses between 120 and 320 abrasive grit, depending on the application. For comparison, applied finish #3 uses between 100-120. No pre-grinding is involved, so only the smoother mill finishes such as 2A or 2B can be used. 0000010441 00000 n

That answer is ultimately up to you and the specifications you define for your project. A semi-dull finish with a uniform grain generally applied to the supplied surface of the mill finish stainless steel. Let’s review two of the more common mill finishes: It has become popular in kitchens due to its low maintenance, cleanliness, appearance, and corrosion resistance to food acids and water. The level of the grit impacts the surface roughness, which is typically measured in terms of micro-inches or micro meters, represented as Ra (roughness average). Stainless steel sheet is produced in many types of finishes due to the various uses and applications that stainless steel can be used in. Good weldability. 0000017036 00000 n
