When you buy a stainless steel sink, you will find that the surface brightness of a stainless steel basin is very bright, and some are not bright or rough? What is the reason for this? Today, I will share with you about the 3 major reasons that affect the brightness of the sink.
1. Stainless steel sink raw materials
The quality of stainless steel raw materials. There are generally 3 kinds of stainless steel plates for making sinks, namely 201, 304, 316, of which 201 is the worst material, but there are also good 201 materials, but it is not as good as 304 and 316. 316 is the best steel. This is generally used in industrial and chemical production, and generally our household sink generally uses 304 to be outstanding. The stainless steel plate made of 201 material will be brighter than the sink made of 304 stainless steel, while the 304 will be heavier and more textured.
2. Stainless steel plate thickness
Generally speaking, the thickness of stainless steel plate is between 0.7-1.2mm, whether it is used for stretching or hand-made sink is better. If it is too thin, the produced sink will be easily deformed in the polishing, frosting and other processes, which will not meet customer needs.
3. Surface treatment of stainless steel sink
The brightness of the 304 stainless steel plate itself is not particularly obvious, which requires the surface treatment method to be used in the later production of stainless steel water basins, as well as the quality of the polishing and other equipment used, which will also have a great impact on the brightness of the sink surface.
