Popular Finish Options Of Stainless Steel

  1. A comprehensive collection of finishes is also available from WUKUANG STEEL when purchasing stainless steel coil. Popular finish options include:

      1. 2D. Also cold-rolled, the 2D finish has a matte surface with low reflectivity.
      2. HR / No.1 . This hot-rolled finish has a scaled appearance and so is ideal where the final aesthetic is not an important concern.
      3. BA / 2R. Cold rolled and annealed in a controlled atmosphere to retain a highly reflective finish. This highly-reflective finish is achieved by annealing the alloy in a carefully controlled atmosphere. 
      4. 2B. Smooth finish, reflective grey sheen. Most widely used surface finish. The most popular surface finish, 2B offers a smooth appearance with a grey, reflective sheen.
