Product Description
The 430 bright annealed (BA) finish is cold rolled stainless steel that is annealed in a controlled atmosphere to retain a highly reflective finish. Although it is not completely identical to the #8 mirror finish, it appears to be very similar. The 430 stainless steel bright annealed finish has a PVC film on one side to help protect against scratching during fabrication and installation.
If you need any fabrication (hemming, rounded corners), you must select the "cut to your size" option. We can offer hemming on both the 20 gauge, 22 gauge and 24 gauge 430 stainless steel. If you need a bending option, please see our Angle/Channel section.
430 stainless steel sheet metal is a slightly lower grade than the 300 series and is commonly used for applications when the metal needs to hold a magnet, which the 300 series does not. 430 stainless steel sheet bright annealed finish is slightly more susceptible to corrosion since it does not contain nickel or molybdenum like the 300 series.
This metal will hold a magnet, but not act as a magnet.
