How to Process Surface Treatment for Stainless Steel Tubes
Stainless steel pipe products are now incredibly diverse, ranging from kitchenware to furniture, as well as various craft items, with a wide variety of types. Amidst the high demand, there are now numerous stainless steel pipe processing factories. During the processing, the surface treatment grade of stainless steel pipes varies, closely related to the finished products. How can one differentiate between the surface grade of stainless steel pipe products?
Hot-rolled surface treated with heat treatment and acid pickling. Generally used for cold-rolled materials, industrial tanks, chemical industry equipment, etc., with thickness ranging from 2.0MM to 8.0MM. The stainless steel tube processing factory also offers a matte NO.2B finish, which is cold-rolled, heat-treated, and acid-pickled, followed by a precision rolling process to achieve a moderately glossy surface. Due to the surface lubrication, it is easy to re-polish, making the surface even brighter. Its wide range of applications includes tableware, building materials, and more. With surface treatments that improve mechanical properties, it meets almost all uses.
Matte finish: After cold rolling and heat treatment, followed by acid pickling, the material is soft with a silvery white luster, suitable for deep drawing processes such as car components and piping. Products produced with 100-120 grit sandpaper. They offer excellent luster and discontinuous coarse texture. Used for architectural interior and exterior decorative materials, electrical products, and kitchen equipment. Fine sand is also a surface finishing grade product often produced by stainless steel tube processing factories.
The surface grades of stainless steel pipes produced by our processing factory, in addition to the aforementioned distinctions, include many others. The bright surface variety has a particularly high luster and can be used directly for making mirrors or other decorative products. It is beautiful and generous, and also maintains its brightness over time without worry of corrosion. The specific surface processing grade to choose depends on the product's characteristics, aiming for both beauty and utility.
