Bead Blasted Finish

Bead blasting is a surface treatment technique used to create a textured or matte finish on stainless steel. In this process, small glass beads or ceramic beads are propelled at high speed onto the stainless steel surface, which results in a uniform and consistent matte appearance.

It's worth noting that we support customised finish roughness requirements and can guarantee flatness on both sides of the bead-blast.
By adjusting the base material from 2B, BA or one that has been mirror polished, the sheen of the finish can be adjusted as per the project requirements.

Application

The bead-blasted finish is achieved by the impact of the beads on the metal surface, which creates tiny indentations or abrasions. These abrasions scatter light and reduce reflectivity, giving the stainless steel a non-reflective and slightly rough texture. This finish is often used for aesthetic purposes in various applications, including architectural designs, interior decor, kitchen appliances, and automotive parts.

The Benefits of Bead Blasted Stainless Steel Sheets

The bead-blasted finish provides several benefits, such as improved scratch resistance and better hiding of fingerprints, compared to polished or brushed stainless steel surfaces. It also adds a unique visual appeal, making it a popular choice in contemporary designs where a distinctive texture or matte appearance is desired.

  • Non-Reflective Surface

    The matte texture reduces glare and reflection, making it ideal for environments where light reflection needs to be minimized.

  • Fingerprints and Stains Resistance

    The bead-blasted finish helps to conceal fingerprints, smudges, and stains, making it easier to maintain a clean and pristine appearance.

  • Easy to Clean

    Cleaning bead-blasted stainless steel is relatively simple. Regular wiping with a soft cloth and mild detergent is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance.

  • Scratch Resistance

    The textured surface of the bead-blasted finish helps to hide minor scratches and scuffs, maintaining the sheet's overall appearance even with regular use.

  • Durability

    Stainless steel is inherently durable, and the bead-blasted finish enhances its resistance to wear, corrosion, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting performance.

  • Customization Options

    Bead-blasted stainless steel sheets can be further customized with various colors, patterns, or additional surface treatments to meet specific design requirements and preferences.

FAQ

Q: What is a Bead Blasted Finish?

A: A clear, concise definition. Explain it as a surface finishing process that bombards a material with fine spherical media (like glass or ceramic beads) to create a uniform, satin-like, matte texture without significant etching.

Q: What are the key characteristics and benefits of a Bead Blasted Finish?

A: Characteristics: Uniform, non-directional matte appearance, low reflectivity, smooth tactile feel. Benefits: Excellent at concealing fingerprints, minor scratches, and machining marks; provides a superior base for paint and coating adhesion; offers a clean, modern aesthetic.

Q: How do I clean and maintain a Bead Blasted surface?

A: Recommend using a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Caution against abrasive pads or harsh chemicals to prevent altering the delicate matte texture. For enhanced protection, a clear coat can be applied.

Q: Is Bead Blasting a pre-treatment or a final finish?

A: It can be used as a final finish for its aesthetic appeal. More commonly, it's an excellent pre-treatment before processes like painting, powder coating, or anodizing, as the textured surface dramatically improves coating adhesion.

Q: Does a Bead Blasted Finish provide corrosion resistance?

A:Clarify a common misconception. The finish itself is not a corrosion-resistant coating. It's a physical preparation. While it can improve the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel by creating a uniform surface, it can make carbon steel more susceptible to rust. Corrosion resistance is typically achieved by subsequent processes like anodizing (for aluminum) or passivation (for stainless steel) applied after bead blasting.

Q: How long is your delivery time?

A: Trial orders can be delivered within a week. For regular orders, it takes 7-30 days roughly.

Q: How can you ensure the quality of your product?

A: All products are subject to three checks throughout the manufacturing process, including mill material processing, decorative finish productioning and packaging.
