In daily life, we may not often see stainless steel whose surface is as shiny as a mirror. Generally, they are used in the decoration industry or the optical industry where high brightness is required. It is the Mirror 8K stainless steel coil.
It has a bright surface and high corrosion resistance. Moreover, the coloured stainless steel coil is also very suitable for wallboard.
So it has a wide range of uses.
Next, let’s take a closer look at it.
People mechanically grind and polish the BA, 2B or matte stainless steel surface to form mirror 8k stainless steel.
Then, people roll the mirror 8k stainless steel to form an ordinary mirror 8k stainless steel coil.
However, what do mirror and 8k in mirror 8k stainless steel mean?
(Information about another type 201 stainless steel coil, you can check Introduction of 201 Stainless steel coil)
‘Mirror’ represents a treatment standard for stainless steel surfaces. People polish and grind the surface of stainless steel. This makes its surface as bright as a mirror and can reflect objects. This is the mirror.
First of all, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on its alloy composition. Among them are Cr, Ni, titanium, silicon, and manganese.
However, Cr is decisive for the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Secondly, “8” refers to the proportion of alloy in stainless steel.
For “K”, it refers to the reflectivity grade of the processed stainless steel. Among them, K is the mirror grade.
By the way, mirror 8K stainless steel has two types: single-sided and double-sided.
Regarding the mirror grade of stainless steel, there are 6k, 10k, 12k.
Moreover, the larger the number, the greater the fineness of the mirror:
6K refers to the rough grinding and polishing mirror panel. And its effect is a little worse than the mirror;
10K refers to the finely ground and polished mirror panel. And its reflectance is similar to that of an ordinary mirror;
And 12K refers to the ultra-fine grinding and polishing mirror panel, which can meet optical applications.
However, this grading standard is not uniform. As long as the brightness is greater, the reflectivity is greater, and the surface defects are less, and more people like this mirror stainless steel.
Therefore, people regard stainless steel with the same brightness as 8K stainless steel.
Then, why do people want to polish the surface of stainless steel?
Usually, mirror stainless steels have been extended to 8K, 10K, 12K, due to the difference in the degree of fineness required by customers, they are “defined” as the larger the number, the higher the fineness of the mirror surface.
6K refers to the rough grinding and polishing mirror panel, which is less effective than mirrors; 10K refers to the fine grinding and polishing mirror panel, which can be comparable to ordinary mirrors; and 12K refers to the ultra-fine grinding and polishing mirror panel, which can meet optical applications.
Mirror stainless steel plate is a popular decoration material. Its second-largest sales volume of a stainless steel plate which was quite strongly welcome by consumers. However, with a high demand for mirror stainless steel in the market, the quality has become the biggest problem for most buyer and supplier
The processing of stainless steel into 8K stainless steel enhances its performance:
Moreover, this reduces the coefficient of friction and surface stress.
Then, what is the specific production company of Mirror 8K stainless steel?
The basic plates of Mirror 8k stainless steel are mostly 2B and BA.
it is necessary to mix the grinding liquid during the product process: mix water, nitrate acid, iron-red powder, etc. according to a certain ratio to make a grinding liquid.Moreover, the better the ratio is deployed, the higher the quality of the product
Rough polishing is generally done with water. Moreover, it uses six sets of grinders. Then, people arrange the grinding wheels in order from coarse to fine to grind stainless steel. This can remove defects such as roughness, burrs, and trachoma on the surface of stainless steel.
Moreover, the grinding has a certain depth, most of which are within 2c.
After obtaining a certain extent in this way. And then, people finely polish it.
This group of grinding machines uses high-density wool felt. Moreover, the higher the density of wool felt, the better. Then, people add slurry.
This removes the oxide layer, sand marks, grinding headlines, etc. on the surface of the stainless steel. Therefore, it improves the luminosity of stainless steel. Moreover, the finely polished stainless steel can reflect the details of the article.
After polishing, people use a brush dipped in clean water to clean the surface of the stainless steel. Moreover, the finer the brush, the cleaner the water and the cleaner the product.
Then, people use a baking lamp to dry the water on stainless steel.
After processing the surface of stainless steel, people also need to check the breadth of stainless steel, blisters, dark bones, scratches, and whether the product is deformed, and whether the grinding head is within the standard range.
Otherwise, the quality of the product is not up to standard.
The finished mirror is 8k stainless steel, and people will put a protective film on it.
Moreover, stainless steel cannot leak edges, and the protective film must be cut neatly.
And then, people can pack the finished mirror 8K stainless steel in a box.
The production process of the double-sided mirror 8K stainless steel is the same as the above.
However, when people grind stainless steel, they have to use the same size pad as a base. This prevents scratches on the other side.
Moreover, after putting a protective film on the polished side, polish the other side.
However, after people polished the second side, the protective film on the first side was dirty. Therefore, after people have finished grinding, they must re-attach the protective film to the first side.
To sum up, compared to a single-sided mirror 8K stainless steel coil, the double-sided mirror is more time-consuming. Moreover, its cost is relatively high.
Therefore, its price is about 3 times more expensive than the single-sided processing fee.
In addition, people can also colour mirror 8K stainless steel coil.
Similarly, its methods are as follows:
People use electrolyte to attach a metal film to the surface of coloured stainless steel.
Moreover, this can play a role in preventing corrosion, improving abrasion resistance, conductivity, light reflection and improving aesthetics.
People put stainless steel in an aqueous solution. Then, the ions on the surface of the stainless steel will continue to appear on the auto-catalytic surface. This forms a metal coating.
In this process, fluororesin is the main film-forming substance.
People spray the paint on the stainless steel plate in the form of mist. As a result, stainless steel has different colours.
In addition to the above process, in the processing of stainless steel, people have to control the melting point of the mirror surface 8k stainless steel coil.
As for the melting point of mirror 8K stainless steel is to burn the 8K mirror stainless steel coil red. This temperature needs to reach 400 degrees.
Moreover, it has nothing to do with the surface of stainless steel. But with the composition of stainless steel and the content of these components.
Mirror stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and thermal fatigue. However, its resistance to inter-granular corrosion is not as good as 200 series stainless steel. People can usually use it instead of 200 series stainless steel.
Compared with 304 material, its tensile properties, welding properties and thermal expansion are lower. Therefore, its price is relatively cheap. So people use it widely.
So, how is the mirror polishing finish done on stainless steel?
The working principle of the stainless-steel round tube polishing machine is to use a high-speed rotating polishing wheel combined with a rotating guide wheel to make the round tube automatically move forward while using the polishing wheel to rub the surface of the circular tube and achieve the polishing effect.
By adjusting the feed amount of the grinding head, one can choose the amount of the polishing effect, and thus, the ideal polishing effect can be achieved by adjusting the feed amount for the workpiece. Various polishing wheels are used, the commonly used include grinding wheels, hemp wheels, cloth wheels, nylon wheels, and wool wheels, etc. The polished round tube surface gives off a mirror effect, and the polishing quality is higher than other polishing processes.
The mirror finish is achieved by mechanically treating the surface with a series of gradually refined abrasive materials. At this stage, the deep scratches must be removed because any surface defects on the final product are very noticeable. After this, the final process involves polishing the surface for 5-10 minutes to form a mirror-like, highly reflective mirror surface.[1]
