The 304 stainless steel family derived from 304 has excellent surface processing properties. At present, surface processing commonly used in the market can be applied to 304 series stainless steel.
1. Dry-grinding wire drawing. After processing such surface, 304 series stainless steel shows good decorative effect, can meet the requirements of general decorative materials
2. Oil-milled wire drawing. 304 series stainless steel after oil-milled reflects the perfect decorative effect, and widely used in elevators, household appliances and other decorative panels.
