What is the difference between brushed, frosted and sandblasted stainless steel tubes?

1. Frosted stainless steel tube: In fact, it is the original color of stainless steel, and the surface has no graininess. The characteristics are: as the use time increases, it will have more patina and become brighter.
2. Brushed stainless steel tube: It is a surface texture formed after grinding with a grinding wheel. The graininess is heavier, and the advantage is that it increases friction and helps the use of various kitchen equipment.
3. Sandblasted stainless steel tube: The sandblasted surface of stainless steel tube is a surface texture made by electrochemical method. The graininess of the surface is between frosted and brushed. Through electrochemical treatment, it can prevent oil stains, that is, such a surface is easier to wipe off oil stains. It is the simplest and most convenient one for us to use.

The method of rust removal on the surface of stainless steel tube is as follows:
1. Cleaning
Cleaning the surface of stainless steel tube with emulsion can remove grease, dust, lubricants and similar organic matter, but it cannot remove rust and scale on the steel surface, so it can only be used as an auxiliary means of anti-corrosion production.
2. Tool rust removal
Use tools such as wire brushes to polish the surface of stainless steel pipes to remove loose or warped scale, rust, etc. The rust removal of manual tools reaches SA2 level, and the rust removal of electric tools reaches SA3 level.
3. Pickling
Usually, pickling treatment uses chemical and electrolytic methods. Pipeline anti-corrosion only uses chemical pickling to remove scale, rust and old coatings.
4. Shot peening rust removal
After shot peening rust removal, not only can the physical and chemical adsorption of the surface be expanded by expanding the pipeline, but also the mechanical adhesion between the anti-corrosion layer and the surface of the pipeline material can be continuously enhanced. Therefore, shot blasting rust removal is a rust removal method that can be used for the outer surface of stainless steel pipes and pipelines and anti-corrosion.

In general, whether it is a brushed stainless steel pipe or a frosted stainless steel pipe, the matte surface effect will be processed according to the specific requirements of the customer. It is recommended that customers choose frosting or brushing process according to specific purposes or needs when purchasing.
