fabrication.

The classic mill finishes offered on our Moda range include

1D/2D, 2B, 1E/2E and 2R/BA. In case a more demanding finish
is required, polishing (2G, 2K / ASTM No. 3 and 4) or brushing (2J)
is an efficient technique to upgrade the surface which can
also be applied directly on the coil. Within our Deco range,
Outokumpu offers a selection of high-class surface finishes, e.g.
various patterns (2M), Deco 3N and 4N, Deco Rolled-On or
Deco Scotch Brite with very distinguished properties on our
popular Moda 430/4016. Temper rolled 2H finishes are available
in the Forta range. The surface finish also plays an important
role in influencing the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel,
especially in the case of atmospheric corrosion or where splashing
is common. A smooth surface finish increases the resistance to
corrosion initiation.

In general, the roughness of the hot rolled (1D) surface is higher

than cold rolled surfaces. The bright annealed surface (2R/BA)
is highly reflective and very smooth compared to the cold rolled,
annealed, pickled, and skin-passed (2B) surface.

More information about surface finishes can be found in the Deco

range brochure or on our website, [Link].
