Appearance of Stainless Steel Finishes

Stainless Steel

Unfinished factory-source finish. Front side can contain smooth scratches. Back Side can contain burrs and scratches from cutting process. Back-Side deburring process available in part configurator.

Stainless Steel –
Vibrated

Unfinished variant (2B) with vibration process, it is applied on both sides of the part with a 120 grit.

Stainless Steel – SandBlasted

Unfinished variant (2B) with sandblasting process, applied on both sides of the part. We use glass microspheres as abrasive.

Stainless Steel – Premium Brushed

Manually brushed finish with a high end aesthetic result. Finish applied in the face shown in your files. Horizontal brushed alignment.*

Stainless Steel – Brushed SB (with film protection)

Brushed Stainless Steel SB comes with a factory PVC film protection. Finish applied in the face shown in your files. Horizontal brushed alignment.*

Stainless Steel – Premium Shiny

Manually shiny finish with a high end aesthetic result. Finish applied in the face shown in your files.*

Stainless Steel – Shiny BA (with film protection)

Shiny Stainless Steel BA comes with a factory PVC film protection. Finish applied in the face shown in your files. *

Brushed Finish Considerations *

The Brushed Finish will always be present on the visible side of your file. If you select the extra Aesthetic Brushing, the finish will be present on both sides.

The brushing alignment will always be horizontal, according to the position of your documents.

Stainless Steel

– Resistant to everything. Irresistible to the eyes.

We have 304 alloy, perfect for most applications, and 316, ideal for high corrosive or marine environments.

Stainless Steel is an easily weldable material, ready to be cold formed, rigid, very durable, clean and is not attracted by magnets.

In the vibrated variant we polish both faces with abrasive discs, offering an industrial non-directional homogeneous finish.

About the SandBlasted finish, we operate at low pressure with glass micro spheres sand without affecting the original shape of your part, leaving the surface clean and free of imperfections.

For a more aesthetic part we recommend the Brushed or Shiny finish. This finish is present on the front face of your file. If you select the extra aesthetic finish, your part will be polished after being cut on both sides.

Stainless steel has a wide range of applications, including: parts for home appliances , vehicle parts, assemblies for outdoors, general equipment for industry , parts for machines of chemical and food sector, jewelry, signage, decorative letters, maker projects (DIY) and all kinds of applications where a solid, resistant parts with an optimal natural protection against environmental oxidation and corrosion are needed.
