Stainless Steel Sheet

Material: stainless steel
Type: 304, 316, 430, 310, 420J2, 321, etc.
Thickness: 0.15 to 3.0mm
Width: 914 to 1,524mm
Standards: ASTM A240/480, AISI 304, JIS 4305 EN10204 3.1/EN10028-7
Production:
Hot-rolled:
Production process: hot-rolled, annealed and pickled
Description: condition and finish preferred for corrosion- and heat-resisting applications
Cold-rolled:
Production process: hot-rolled, annealed, descaled, cold-rolled, annealed, pickled, final skin pass rolled
Description: smooth finish achieved by cold rolling, then annealing and pickling, followed by skin pass rolling
Surface finish:
2B: the general-purpose, cold-rolled, smooth finish obtained as a result of a final light pass through polished rolls at the mill
BA: bright annealed finish is a bright, cold-rolled, highly reflective finish retained by final annealing in a controlled atmosphere furnace. The finish has large application in the appliance and automotive industry and as a decorative finish in architecture. The brightness and reflectivity is a function of thickness and grade. Consultation is recommended prior to specification in architectural applications. BA finish is usually supplied with a PE or PVC coating as a surface protection
No.4: produced from 2B finish often by a service center rather than the production mill. It is a general-purpose ground polished finish used widely for kitchen equipment and applications requiring a decorative finish. No.4 finish is usually supplied with a PE or PVC coating as a surface protection
No.8: highly reflective 'mirror' finish. Produced from 2B finish by polishing with successive finer abrasives followed by extensive buffing. Mainly used in architectural applications
HL: finished by continuous linear polishing. Architectural purposes, escalators, kitchen ware vehicles
Customer specific: a service center with polishing equipment can produce special finishes for specific applications
