What is Surface Treatment?​

Mechanical surface finishing is a precision process that physically alters the surface of stainless steel strips through controlled grinding, polishing, texturing, and rolling techniques. This process is dedicated to achieving superior surface qualities, including enhanced smoothness, specific aesthetic textures, improved flatness, and optimal cleanliness for critical applications.

Our expertise lies in high-precision mechanical surface treatments. We provide a comprehensive range of standard and specialty finishes, including:

  • Standard Finishes:​ Such as 2B, BA, No.4, and No.8 (Mirror)

  • Specialty Finishes:​ Including high-clarity 6K and 8K mirror finishes, uniform satin (matte), various hairline (brushed)​ patterns, and decorative colored PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) vacuum plating.

These finishes are achieved through specialized mechanical and physical processes like bright annealing, smooth rolling, precision grinding with defined grit abrasives, and advanced texturing. Each process is meticulously controlled to ensure consistent results that meet exact customer specifications for both functional performance and aesthetics.

BAOYI is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring all surface treatments meet international quality standards.
