A rough, dull surface, which results from hot rolling to the specified thickness, followed by annealing and descaling.

A dull finish which results from cold rolling followed by annealing and descaling, and may perhaps gets a final light roll pass through unpolished rolls. A 2D finish is used where appearance is not a concern.

A bright, cold-rolled finish resulting in the same manner as 2D finish, except that the annealed and descaled sheet received a final light roll pass through polished rolls. This is the general-purpose cold-rolled finish that can be used as is, or a preliminary step to polishing

The bright annealed mill surface is obtained by annealing the material under an atmosphere, so that scale is not produced on the surface.

This is a ground unidirectional finish obtained with 150/180/240/320 grit abrasive, which is characterized by parallel brushing lines, it is also known as Satin.

It’s a semi-dull finish with uniform grain, which is obtained using finer abrasives than No.4/NO.5/NO.6. This finish has smooth, soft and exquisite grains which has a low level of reflectivity and unidirectional texture.

Seemingly endless polishing lines extend uniformly along with the length of the coil give the hairline. It’s a well-defined directional finish with long-grain and fine-line.

This is a polished finish having a high degree of reflectiveness which can be done on all the grades of stainless steel. It is produced by progressively using finer abrasives and finally finishing with extremely fine buffing compounds. The final surface is blemish free with a high degree of image clarity.

Vibration is a multi-directional finish. It is also known by the names Non-Directional Satin and Angel Hair. Vibration has a uniform texture with random, multi-directional grit lines.

CD Overlay is a patterned polished steel finish that is applied mechanically to the surface of stainless steel sheets. These stainless polished steel finishes can be created with various visual effects, which are designed for architectural and other applications.

This finish results in a non-directional textured surface with a soft satin reflection and low reflectivity.This finish has an aesthetic appeal and enhances the surface properties of stainless steel.

Etched patterns are created by selectively applying a protective acid resistant film to a highly polished surface and acid etching the unprotected areas. The etching removes a thin layer of stainless steel, changes the color to a dull silver gray, and roughens the surface. Etched finished made an attractive surface on the metal, which is applied on architectural and other applications.

Embossed finish is a stainless steel finish that is uniformly textured. There are two main types of Embossed Finish: 1 sided pattern, where the reverse side is paint; another one is 2 sided patterns where the pattern is imprinted through to reverse side.

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a process to produce a metal vapor (titanium, chromium and aluminum) that can be deposited on electrically conductive materials as a thin highly adhered pure metal or alloy coating. The process is carried out in a vacuum chamber at vacuum using a cathodic arc source. A wide variety of colors can be achieved by adding other gases during the deposition.
