What is No 2B finish in stainless steel?


No. 2B Finish

No. 2B Finish is a bright cold rolled finish commonly produced in the same manner as No. 2D, except that the final light cold rolling pass is done using polished rolls. This produces a more reflective finish that resembles a cloudy mirror. Finish reflectivity can vary from manufacturer-to-manufacturer and coil-to-coil with some coils looking quite mirror-like and others being fairly dull. No. 2B is a general purpose cold rolled finish commonly used for all but exceptionally difficult deep drawing applications. It is more readily polished to high luster than a No. 1 or No. 2D finish.
