Drawing stainless steel plate has become a star material in both industrial and civilian fields due to its corrosion resistance, high strength, and easy cleaning characteristics, combined with a matte texture and delicate texture decorative effect. The following are its core application industries and typical cases:
1. Architectural decoration and curtain wall engineering
High end commercial complex: elevator car, door frame (such as Apple flagship store using 0.8mm fine straight grain brushed board)
Subway/airport: Wall decorative panels (anti fingerprint treatment, reducing maintenance costs)
Outdoor facilities: Stainless steel railings with brushed anti slip treatment (weather resistance improved by 50%)
Data support: The global market size of brushed stainless steel for construction will reach 3.7 billion US dollars in 2024, with an annual growth rate of 8.2% (data source: McKinsey Metals Report).
2. Home appliances and consumer electronics
Kitchen appliances: range hood panel (SUS304 brushed board accounts for over 60%), refrigerator door panel
3C products: Mobile phone frame (such as iPhone metal frame using 240 mesh cross drawing process)
Small appliances: coffee machine, air fryer shell (with nano coating to prevent oil stains)
Technological trend: The consumer electronics industry is promoting a new process that combines ultra-fine textures (over 800 mesh) with colored PVD coating.
3. Transportation equipment
Automotive industry: interior trim (Mercedes Benz S-Class adopts gradient brushed effect), new energy vehicle battery cover plate
Rail transit: interior wall panels of high-speed rail carriages (fire rating A), subway handrails
Shipbuilding: Cruise staircase anti-skid board (corrosion resistance improvement plan for seawater environment)
Case: The Tesla Cybertruck's side panels feature custom diagonal brushed patterns that balance aesthetics and scratch resistance.
4. Medical and food industries
Surgical instrument cabinet: antibacterial brushed surface (compliant with GMP certification)
Food machinery: dough mixer, conveyor belt (USDA food grade certified material)
Laboratory countertop: Dense brushed sheet metal resistant to acid and alkali corrosion
Industry standard: The medical field must meet the strict requirements of ASTM F899-22 for surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.4 μ m).
5. Industrial equipment and energy
Semiconductor equipment: cleanroom bracket (dust-free shedding drawing process)
Photovoltaic bracket: Outdoor weather resistant brushed stainless steel (with a lifespan of over 25 years)
Chemical pipeline: anti-corrosion flange sealing surface (3 times higher wear resistance than mirror stainless steel)
Innovative application: In the auxiliary equipment of nuclear power plant reactors, the brushed surface can reduce the adsorption of radioactive substances.
Future Trends
With the maturity of laser composite drawing (precision ± 0.02mm) and digital texture customization technology, drawn stainless steel plates are gradually penetrating into emerging fields such as smart homes and aerospace equipment, becoming a benchmark material that balances functionality and high-end texture.
