NO. 4 STAINLESS STEEL FINISH
A satin or no. 4 stainless steel finish is a widely used surface finish known for its “tighter-grain” appearance and durability. It is produced through mechanical polishing with 150- to 180-grit abrasives, creating a consistent, satin-like texture that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal. It features a smooth and uniform pattern, providing a polished look without excessive reflectivity.

KEY PROPERTIES OF #4 STAINLESS STEEL FINISH
A satin finish offers several key advantages, including:
Aesthetic Appearance
The No. 4 finish gives stainless steel a clean, modern look. It is especially popular in environments where a sleek and sophisticated appearance is desired, whether for architectural elements or appliances. The subtle grain pattern adds depth and character, creating a polished and professional appearance in any setting.
Scratch Resistance
The linear texture of the No. 4 finish minimizes the visibility of minor surface scratches by diffusing light and concealing small imperfections from daily wear. This ensures a smooth, polished look over time, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or frequently used surfaces.
Ease Of Maintenance
A satin finish boasts a smooth surface that resists dirt and grime accumulation, making it easier to clean than other finishes. Regular maintenance involves simply wiping the surface with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, ensuring that it remains looking new with minimal effort.
Hygienic Properties
One of the standout features of the No. 4 stainless steel finish is its non-porous nature. Unlike other materials that can trap bacteria, dirt, and grime, the smooth surface of No. 4 stainless steel helps to prevent contaminants from penetrating the material. This makes it easier to maintain a clean environment.
Weldability
The surface properties of the No. 4 finish allow for effective welding without the need for extensive surface preparation. Its uniform texture facilitates good fusion between the welded materials, resulting in strong, durable joints and a consistent appearance. The grain appearances is easy to match when cleaning and blending weld areas.
