It is also used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and marine, where it provides a durable and corrosion-resistant surface. Satin stainless steel is available in various grades of stainless steel, including 304, 316, and 430, and in a range of thicknesses and sizes to suit different design requirements. 

Number 4 finish stainless steel, commonly referred to as “satin” finish, is the most popular choice for architectural applications.

Faq:

1. What is Satin Finish?

Satin stainless steel is a type of finish that is achieved by mechanically polishing the surface of stainless steel to create a consistent and even grain pattern. The satin finish is similar to the hairline finish, but it has a slightly more reflective appearance and is less textured than the hairline finish.This finish has a low-reflective appearance that is less reflective than a mirror finish.

2. How does No.4 stainless steel differ from other finishes, like No.8 or mirror finish?
No.4 stainless steel has a brushed satin appearance with a non-reflective finish. In contrast, No.8 or mirror finish stainless steel has a highly reflective and mirror-like surface. The choice between the two finishes depends on the desired aesthetics and the level of reflectivity needed for the specific application.

3. How do I clean and maintain No.4 stainless steel with a satin finish?

To clean No.4 stainless steel with a satin finish, use a mild soap or detergent and warm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh abrasives, steel wool, or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots or mineral deposits.
