While there are variations of each finish that might be available from a stainless steel supplier or applied after purchasing, most popular finishes fall into one of 13 types.
The first 5 finishes (Numbers 0 through 2BA) are referred to as mill finishes. | |
Number 0: | Hot-rolled and annealed |
Number 1: | Hot-rolled, annealed, and passivated |
Number 2B: | Cold-rolled, annealed, pickled, and passivated, with an additional pass through highly polished rollers |
Number 2BA: | Features the same processing as 2B, but requires annealing in an oxygen-free vacuum |
Number 2D: | Cold-rolled, annealed, pickled, and passivated |
Finishes number 3 to 8 apply an increasingly smooth texture to the surface of the steel, with brushed and coarse having a texture that is both visible and noticeable to the touch. | |
Number 3: | Coarse |
Number 4: | Brushed |
Number 5: | Satinctor in determining its unique characteristics however… The Number 6 matte finish is rarely used in modern projects, however, it still has a place in restoration or small projects where a unique appearance is desired. Reflective and mirror finishes are the smoothest of the series, providing a glossy, smooth finish with little visual distortion. However, the additional processing required also results in added cost. |
Number 6: | Matte |
Number 7: | Reflective |
Number 8: | Mirror |
The final two finishes (Numbers 9 and 10) refer more to the processes used than the final appearance. Results range from rough to reflective and can even include colour variations and other interesting features designed to increase visual appeal or provide a particular appearance. | |
Number 9: | Bead blasted |
Number 10: | Electropolished or heat-colored surfaces |
