What is Morrir Finish Stainless Steel?
Mirror stainless steel refers to the highly polished and surface-treated stainless steel, which has very high reflection ability and smoothness, and can achieve an effect similar to a mirror. We also call it the NO.8 surface. This surface treatment is usually done by grinding and polishing the stainless steel surface multiple times to remove all blemishes and oxide layers and form a very smooth fine grain on the surface.
Mirror Finish
Mirror stainless steel is usually used in high-end construction, interior decoration, kitchen utensils, and automobiles to enhance the appearance and texture of products.

How to polish stainless steel into a mirror finish? There are several techniques and steps to achieve the No. 8 mirror effect.
Please watch the video below, you can better understand how to polish stainless steel to the mirror surface in our Huaxiao Metal, and the production process of our mirror stainless steel plate.
Preparation of Stainless Steel Plate:
First, a flat stainless steel plate needs to be prepared. Commonly used stainless steel materials include 304, 316, 430, etc., and its composition is mainly composed of chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and other metals.
Usually, we prepare stainless steel plates with cold-rolled or BA surfaces. If customers have special needs, we will use hot-rolled stainless steel plates to directly polish them into mirror-finish stainless steel plates.
Surface Treatment:
After cutting, grinding, deburring, and other processes, the surface of the stainless steel plate is treated to be flat, smooth, and scratch-free for subsequent precision processing.
Polishing:
use mechanical or chemical methods to polish stainless steel plates. Mechanical polishing usually uses equipment such as grinders and polishing machines and grinds through grinding wheels of different particle sizes to gradually achieve a mirror effect. Chemical polishing requires the use of chemical agents, and the use of chemical reactions for surface treatment can also achieve similar effects.
