Stainless Steel Bead Blast Sheets

Stainless steel bead blast sheets in Grade 201 series represent a refined and practical solution for applications requiring both durability and a distinctive aesthetic. The bead blasting process, which involves propelling fine beads or abrasive particles against the stainless steel surface, imparts a unique matte finish that is both visually appealing and functional. This treatment not only enhances the appearance of the stainless steel by creating a consistent, non-reflective texture but also contributes to its resistance to fingerprints and minor surface imperfections. Grade 201 stainless steel, chosen for its combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness, serves as an ideal base material for these sheets. Although it does not offer the same level of corrosion resistance as higher grades like 304 or 316, it provides a balance of performance and affordability suitable for a variety of environments. These bead blast sheets are utilized across a broad spectrum of applications, from architectural and interior design to industrial and consumer products. In architectural settings, they are often employed for wall cladding, elevator panels, and other decorative elements where their matte finish adds a modern, sophisticated touch while minimizing glare. In industrial contexts, they are used for machinery enclosures, equipment housings, and other components where durability and a sleek appearance are required. The bead blasting process not only enhances the aesthetic qualities of the stainless steel but also improves its functional characteristics, making these sheets a versatile choice for both high-visibility and high-wear applications.

Max Length	Typically up to 3000 mm (or 10 feet)
Max Width	Generally up to 1500 mm (or 5 feet)
Thickness	0.3 mm to 3 mm
Coating Thickness	Generally not applicable, as bead blasting is a surface treatment rather than a coating.
Glossiness Degrees	Typically matte, providing a subtle, non-reflective finish.
Surface Protection	Often covered with a removable protective film to prevent scratches and damage during handling and installation.
Application	Bead blast sheets in Grade 201 are widely used in various applications where a durable, non-reflective surface is beneficial. They are commonly found in architectural elements, such as wall panels and elevator interiors, where their textured finish adds both aesthetic appeal and functionality. In industrial settings, these sheets are used for machinery covers and equipment enclosures, where the matte finish helps to conceal fingerprints and minor blemishes while reducing glare. Additionally, their use in consumer products, like appliances and fixtures, offers a sleek appearance with enhanced durability. The bead blasting process not only improves the appearance of the stainless steel but also contributes to its resistance to wear and tear.
