Eagle Stainless Tube & Fabrication, Inc.
Why specify a surface finish ? Why specify surface finish?. Specifying surface finish ensures that stainless steel tubing meets both functional and aesthetic requirements. It affects performance, such as corrosion resistance, and enhances the overall look of the final product. Surface finish is typically measured using a profilometer, which records the texture of the surface in terms of roughness and waviness. The results are often expressed in micrometers ( um) or microinches, indicating the peak-to-valley height... (read more)Browse Metal Tubes Datasheets for Eagle Stainless Tube & Fabrication, Inc. -

Why do engineers specify surface finish? Watch Our Surface Finish Guide Webchat: Surface Finish. Stainless Steel Surface Finishes. Stainless steels are a versatile alloy of iron widely used throughout the industrial world in countless applications. The alloy is well-known for its high corrosion resistance due to its minimum 10.5% chromium content by weight. But it is more familiar as that shiny, silver-like surface found on many household products in the bath and kitchen. Why do Surface Finishes Matter?. The importance of stainless... (read more) -

Finish is the First Impression SURFACE FINISH GUIDE. Stainless steel is often chosen for its aesthetic appearance, so make sure to specify the surface finish you need. Finishes can be added to improve functionality and for aesthetic appearance. The most common is the shiny, silvery finish manufacturers refer to as "bright "; alternatively, you can request a "pickled " or dull finish. Polishing and centerless grinding operations can be performed as secondary processes to produce desired RMS (root mean square) finishes... (read more)
