finishes
Stainless steel finishes involve applying various treatments to the surface of stainless steel to achieve different appearances and properties. These finishes can range from untreated mill finishes to brushed, polished, or coated surfaces. Mechanical finishes utilize abrasives to create specific textures, while electrochemical finishes involve electropolishing or passivation for improved corrosion resistance and a reflective appearance. Coated finishes, such as powder coating or PVD coating, provide additional protection and customization options. The choice of finish depends on the desired aesthetic, functionality, and environmental requirements of the stainless steel product.
