In recent years, stainless steel decorative plate have been used more and more widely because of its uniqueness. The decorative stainless steel plate not only has the unique and strength of metal, but also has various and constant color. Another important thing is, decorative stainless steel plate maintains the physical chemical and mechanical properties of primary  color stainless steel, but also has stronger corrosion resistance than primary color stainless steel. This is why it has been widely used in the fields of buildings, chemical industries, automobile, electronics and arts since it came out in 1970s.

What can decorative stainless steel plates be used in?

Decorative stainless steel sheet is a very good decorative material. In the arts and craft industry, the colorful stainless steel is combined with etching and dot method can be used to produce 3D relief murals and hanging screens that will never fade. In addition, using colored stainless steel to make household appliances, cooking utensils,kitchen equipment and bathroom appliance will be deeply loved by consumers. In daily life, we also can see the use of black stainless steel plates to make solar collectors, and its selective heat absorption rate can reach 91%-93%.

How to classify decorative stainless steel plate?

1. By process

Ⅰ. Electroplate. The process of attaching a metal film to the surface of a metal or other material by electrolysis. It can prevent corrosion, improve wear resistance, reflectivity and enhance aesthetics.

Ⅱ. Water plating. It does not rely on an external power source in the aqueous solution, but relies on the reducing agent in the plating solution to carry out a chemical reduction reaction, so that the metal ions are continuously reduced on the autocatalytic surface to form a metal plating layer.

Ⅲ. Fluorocarbon paint . Coating with fluororesin as the main film-forming substance.

Ⅳ.Spray paint. Spray the paint into a mist with compressed air and apply it on the stainless steel plate to form different colors.

2. By surface treatment

A. Mirror

B. Hairline/brushed

C. Sandblasting

D. Etched

E. Embossing

F. Color coating

G. Checkered.

The above mentioned surface treatment methods, patterns and colors can be designed and selected by customers.

Another popular surface finish--Color coating stainless steel sheet

Stainless steel are used because of its corrosion resistance properties in a wide variety of service environments, usually without additional coatings. In certain circumstances, however, stainless steel components or structures may require a coated paint finish. Examples of this may include company colour schemes or logos, environmental blending and compatibility, and general aesthetic requirements.

Coating systems for stainless steel must be carefully selected to provide sufficient durability to meet the requirements of the service environment and its associated operating conditions. The combination of surface preparation and formulation of the paint system are key factors in meeting these objectives. In certain environments, localised breakdown of the coating can lead to corrosion, which may be more severe than that experienced with un-coated surfaces and may result in high, localised, rates of attack.

Coloured stainless steel is of non-toxic, good corrosion resistance, good abrasion resistance, etc. With different illumination angle, color and luster can produce changeable color effect. Coloured coating can maintain its original property at minus 200 degrees centigrade. Meanwhile, its salt spray corrosion resistance is better than normal stainless steel.

Stainless steel sheets are mainly used for decorative interior and exterior wall panels, ceilings, doors, windows, columns, staircase handrails, elevator and roof tiles of ancient architecture. Additionally, it also can be used to manufacture anti-corrosion equipment, plaques, advertising wall, boards, decorative patterns, instrument panels and all types of vehicles decorated boards.

Features of colored stainless steel sheet:

l Will not tarnish oxidize, or discolor in harsh sun,salt,humidity and city environments

l Impervious to extended exposure to UV light with no flaking,cracking or discoloration.

l Available in a wide range of colors,surface patterns and finishes.
