Galvanized carbon steel with stainless steel-like finish

摘要

A"faux stainless steel" may be produced by processing galvanized carbon steel through a temper mill using textured rolls to develop a "polished" type surface. The galvanized coating is not removed by abrasion but is compressed thereby providing a more uniform substrate than conventional polishing or brushing. The resulting strip may then be coated with an organic film to provide additional appearance and corrosion benefits including anti-fingerprint resistance.
