Stainless Steel 310S Sheets, Plates & Coils

There is a wide variety of ASME SA 240 309/310/310S Sheets, Plates, Coils available in the market, offering a diverse range of surface finishes to suit various industrial and commercial needs. Below are the specifics of the commonly offered finishes:
1. 2B Finish : A smooth, moderately reflective finish obtained through cold rolling, annealing, and descaling. It’s suitable for general applications where appearance is not critical.
2. 2D Finish: Achieved via cold rolling, followed by annealing and descaling, this finish offers a subdued, non-reflective appearance. It’s preferred for applications where a matte surface is required.
3. BA Finish (Bright Annealed): A highly reflective, mirror-like finish achieved through annealing in a controlled atmosphere furnace followed by final cold rolling. It’s commonly used in decorative applications.
4. NO.1 Finish : A hot rolled, annealed, and pickled finish characterized by a rough, non-uniform surface. It’s suitable for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
5. NO.4 Finish : A brushed finish with a dull, satin-like sheen created by polishing with abrasives. It’s commonly used in kitchen equipment and decorative applications.
6. NO.8 Finish : A highly reflective, mirror-like finish achieved through mechanical polishing or buffing. It’s used in architectural and decorative applications where a high-gloss surface is desired.
7. 8K Finish : Another term for a mirror-like finish achieved through mechanical polishing or buffing to a high level of reflectivity.
8. Mirror Finish: A highly reflective, mirror-like surface obtained through mechanical polishing or buffing. It’s used in decorative applications and architectural elements.
9. Chequered Finish: Features raised diamond or other geometric patterns on the surface, providing enhanced grip and traction. It’s commonly used in industrial flooring and transportation applications.
10. Embossed Finish: Features raised or recessed patterns on the surface, adding texture and visual interest. It’s used in architectural design, decorative elements, and where enhanced grip or aesthetics are required.
11. Hairline Finish: Features a finely textured surface with long, uniform lines resembling a hairline. It’s used in architectural and decorative applications.
12. Sand Blast Finish: Features a rough, textured surface created by blasting stainless steel with abrasive materials such as sand or glass beads. It’s used in industrial and decorative applications.
13. Brush Finish: Features a brushed texture achieved through brushing the stainless steel surface with abrasive materials or wire brushes. It’s used in decorative applications and architectural design.
14. Etching Finish: Features intricate designs or patterns etched onto the surface using chemical or electrolytic processes. It’s used in branding, signage, and decorative applications.
15. Hot Rolled Plate (HR): Produced by heating stainless steel ingots to high temperatures and then rolling them into the desired thickness. Hot rolled products have a rough surface finish and are suitable for structural applications.
16. Cold Rolled Sheet (CR): Processed at room temperature after hot rolling, resulting in a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances. Cold rolled products exhibit improved surface quality and mechanical properties.
17. SATIN (Met with Plastic Coated) : Features a satin-like finish achieved through mechanical polishing or brushing, with the surface protected by a plastic coating. It’s used in applications requiring protection against scratching or damage.
The diverse assortment of 310S stainless steel plates, coils, and sheets, each featuring distinct surface finishes, address a broad spectrum of industries and applications. They offer alternatives in terms of strength, longevity, corrosion resistance, and visual appeal.
