Stainless Steel Surfaces Comparison.
| 1D | 2B | |
| Matte finish with a rough texture. Often retains surface imperfections from hot rolling |
Appearance | Smooth, bright, and reflective surface. Has a mirror-like quality, enhancing visual appeal |
| Exhibits a linear texture caused by the rolling process, with variations and surface irregularities | Texture | Uniform, smooth surface free of any linear texture or irregularities |
| improved corrosion resistance compared to untreated hot-rolled steel but may not be as corrosion-resistant as other finishes due to surface imperfections | Corrosion Resistance |
Offers enhanced corrosion resistance. The cold-rolling process refines the surface, removing scale and oxide layers, making it suitable for applications requiring high corrosion resistance |
| where appearance is less critical, and cost-effective corrosion resistance is a primary consideration: industrial settings | Applications | requiring a visually appealing, smooth, and highly corrosion resistant surface: food industry, architectural elements, kitchen appliances |
