Differences Between Different Surface Treatment
| Surface Treatment | Processing | Appearance | Application | Differences |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2B Finish | Cold rolling, annealing, pickling | Smooth, slightly reflective | Construction, appliances, food processing | Benchmark for practicality and cost-effectiveness |
| No.1 Finish | Hot rolling, annealing, pickling | Rough, dull | Decorative applications | More reflective and decorative than 2B |
| BA Finish | Cold rolling, bright annealing | Mirror-like, but it is less polished and glossy compared to the 8K finish | Industrial applications | Rougher than 2B surface, suitable for occasions with low surface requirements |
| No.4 Finish | Cold rolling, grinding with 150-180 abrasives | Matte, brushed texture | Appliances, architectural decoration | More matte than 2B surface, suitable for occasions requiring low-key decorative effects |
| HL Finish | Cold rolling, polishing with polishing belt | Fine continuous parallel lines | Elevators, doors, decorative panels | More decorative than 2B surface, suitable for occasions requiring brushed effect |
| No.8 Finish | Cold rolling, polishing | Fully reflective, mirror-like | High-end decorative applications | Shinier than 2B surface, highly decorative, but more expensive |
