What is brushed finish stainless steel?
Brushed stainless steel is a kind of stainless steel whose surface is brushed to increase the appearance of stainless steel. The wire drawing treatment is a processing method on the surface of stainless steel, which makes the surface of stainless steel present a silky texture, presenting a matte effect, which looks high-end and beautiful. Generally, it can be divided into oily wire drawing and dry wire drawing. The cost of oil wire drawing is higher than that of dry wire drawing. Products in different industries will choose different drawing styles and effects according to the needs of the products. For example, industries such as elevators and decoration will use oil brushing or oil frosting, while general mechanical equipment or ordinary stainless steel metal products will choose dry wire drawing.
There is not only one kind of texture on the surface of brushed stainless steel, including straight grain, corrugation, thread and random grain, etc., as follows.
1. Wire drawing straight grain: Usually, the surface state is a straight line grain after the surface of the stainless steel is processed by mechanical friction. The processing process of the wire drawing plate can eliminate scratches on the surface of the raw material of the stainless steel plate, and also has a good decorative effect. This kind of texture also has long silk texture and short silk texture, because this texture is to use scouring pad or stainless steel brush to make straight or short lines on the surface of the plate, and different thickness textures can be obtained by changing the diameter of the steel brush.
2. Brushed corrugation: The production process is to use the axial movement of the upper group of grinding rollers on the brushing machine or rubbing machine, so that the stainless steel surface can get a wavy pattern after brushing.
3. Wire-drawing thread: Its production and processing technology has some characteristics. First, a small motor is used. The shaft is equipped with a circular felt. The small motor is fixed on the table, and it must form an angle of about 60° with the edge of the table. After that, a pallet is made to fix the stainless steel plate, and a polyester film is pasted on the pallet along the edge of the pallet to limit the thread speed. In this way, the linear movement of the felt and the mop can be turned, and the same width of the thread pattern can be obtained on the surface of the stainless steel plate.
4. Brushed random pattern: The surface sand pattern is composed of circles of sand patterns from a distance, and irregular random patterns are nearby, which are formed by irregular swinging of the grinding head up and down, and then electroplated and colored. The surface of this texture is matte, and the production requirements are also very high.
Brushed stainless steel will lose the thickness of the stainless steel plate to a certain extent due to wire drawing, generally 0.1~0.2mm. In addition, because the human body, especially the palm, has relatively strong oil and sweat secretion, brushed stainless steel will leave relatively obvious fingerprints if it is often touched by hands, which will affect the overall aesthetics, and it needs to be scrubbed regularly.
EDEST STEEL produces all kinds of stainless steel plates, can process short-wire stainless steel sheets, oil-milled long-filament stainless steel sheets, dry-ground short-wire stainless steel sheets, and can process the surface of various stainless steel sheets.
