The surface texture of stainless steel after Sandblasting has the following significant characteristics:
First, the surface of stainless steel after Sandblasting presents a uniform matte texture. Compared with the bright surface of untreated stainless steel, the matte effect after Sandblasting is more low-key and restrained, giving people a sense of stability and atmosphere. This matte texture not only has a unique visual charm, but also reduces the reflection of light and avoids glare in certain specific environments, making it more suitable for use in some places with strict light requirements, such as exhibition halls, operating rooms, etc.
Secondly, the surface texture has a certain degree of roughness. During the Sandblasting process, the high-speed sprayed sand particles hit the surface of stainless steel, causing tiny pits and scratches, thus forming this roughness. This roughness can increase the friction of the stainless steel surface, making it perform well in some occasions that require anti-slip, such as stair steps, operating panels of industrial equipment, etc. At the same time, the roughness also helps to improve the adhesion of subsequent coatings, so that paints, coatings, etc. can better adhere to the stainless steel surface, enhancing its anti-corrosion, wear resistance and other properties.
Furthermore, the surface texture after Sandblasting is random. Since the direction and force of the sandblasting process are random, the texture formed on the stainless steel surface has no fixed pattern. This randomness makes each piece of stainless steel treated with Sandblasting have a unique appearance, increasing its artistic value and decorativeness. In some projects that focus on personalization and unique design, stainless steel treated with Sandblasting can be an ideal choice for designers.
In addition, Sandblasting can also cover up some flaws and defects on the surface of stainless steel. During the production and processing of stainless steel, some surface defects such as scratches and indentations may appear. Through Sandblasting, these defects can be covered under the rough texture, making the stainless steel surface look smoother and more beautiful.
However, it should be noted that there are also some limitations to the surface texture of stainless steel treated with Sandblasting. For example, the rough surface may accumulate dust and dirt more easily and require regular cleaning and maintenance. In addition, in some occasions where the surface finish is extremely high, the surface treated with Sandblasting may not meet the requirements.
In short, the surface texture of stainless steel after Sandblasting treatment has the characteristics of matte texture, roughness, randomness, etc. These characteristics make it have a wide range of application prospects in decoration, anti-slip, coating adhesion, etc. However, in the process of use, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider its advantages and disadvantages according to specific needs and occasions to choose the most suitable surface treatment method.
