Grained Finish

  • Part is deburred, and then given a specific linear grain direction via brushing.
  • Aesthetically superior option for bare finish for parts or enclosures that will be displayed.
  • Recommended on stainless steel and aluminum (scroll down for more information).


Materials

Stainless Steel

  • #3 Finish: 40-60 RA (surface finish)

  • #4 Finish: 20-40 RA (surface finish)

Aluminum

  • Brushed Finish: 40-60 RA (surface finish)

  • #4 Finish: 20-40 RA (surface finish)

What about the other materials we have in stock?

  • Cold Rolled Steel: A grained finish can be applied; however, it is recommended only when a third plating finish, such as tin plating, is added. Grained finish alone should be avoided, as the parts will rust.

  • Galvanneal: We do not recommend Grained finish, as it will remove the zinc-iron alloy coating.

  • Copper: While a grained finish can be applied, it is not recommended. If you have this requirement, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
