When stainless steel comes out of the steel factory, it is in a whole roll, and its surface is like fog, which is what we often call 2B.
The stainless steel pipes of various colors, patterns, and shapes that we commonly see in large shopping malls, offices, sculptures, curtain walls, screens, decorative walls, etc. are all later processed through drawing, mirroring, sandblasting, titanium plating, etching, and anti-resisting. Fingerprints and other surface treatment processes are processed. Next, we will briefly introduce these processes.
1.The wire drawing process of Stainless steel
The wire drawing process, also known as frosting, is usually processed by mechanical friction on the surface of stainless steel pipes to obtain a straight-line texture on the surface. There are three types of stainless steel pipe drawing effects: straight wire patterns, snowflake patterns, and nylon patterns.
2.Mirror treatment of stainless steel
Mirror process, mirror treatment of stainless steel, is simply to polish the surface of stainless steel. The polishing method is divided into physical polishing and chemical polishing. Partial polishing can also be performed on the surface of stainless steel. The polishing levels are divided into ordinary polishing, ordinary 6K, fine grinding 8K, and super fine grinding 10K. The mirror surface gives people a high-end, simple, fashionable and futuristic feeling.
3.Sandblasting process of Stainless steel
Sandblasting process is the most common surface treatment process for stainless steel processing. It mainly uses power obtained by compressing air. The high-speed jet beam sprays the spray material onto the surface of the workpiece that needs to be processed, causing the outer surface of the workpiece to shape. The change. Sandblasting is mainly used in engineering and surface technology, such as improving the viscosity of bonded parts, optimizing machined surface burrs, decontamination and matte surface treatment. This process is much better than manual polishing. The surface structure after sandblasting is uniform, which can create low-key and durable features of the product, and the production and processing efficiency is high. Manual polishing can produce a matte surface but the speed is too slow, while chemical solvent cleaning will make the surface too smooth, which is not conducive to coating adhesion.
4.The etching process of stainless steel
The etching process, also called chemical etching, removes the protective film from the area to be etched after exposure, plate making and development. During etching, the chemical solution contacts the surface of the stainless steel pipe that needs to be etched, forming a concave and convex or hollow forming effect, thereby achieving etching patterns. and the purpose of the text.
5.The titanium plating process of stainless steel
The titanium plating process, also called stainless steel titanium or zirconium plating, is to form an ionic film layer of titanium/zirconium compound on the surface of stainless steel in a vacuum container. The ionic film layer can not fade in the outdoor environment for many years. The purpose of titanium plating on stainless steel pipes is to change the appearance of stainless steel and make it have various colors.
6.Anti-fingerprint of stainless steel
The stainless steel anti-fingerprint tube is a composite coating plate obtained by anti-fingerprint treatment on the surface of the stainless steel tube. The coating method mainly uses roller coating.
Different stainless steel pipe surface treatment processes can give the same stainless steel pipe different visual effects and feel.
