Product Description
The 304 stainless steel 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 304 stainless steel bright annealed finish has a PVC film on one side to help protect against scratching during fabrication and installation.
We offer value added fabrication to our 304 stainless steel bright annealed sheets, including hemming, laser cutting and corner rounding. We also manufacture trim molding and embossed sheets out of our 304 stainless steel bright annealed. The maximum thickness of 304 stainless steel bright annealed sheet that we can hem is 22 gauge. If you need a bending option, please see our Angle/Channel section.
304 stainless steel is a commercial grade of stainless steel sheet metal and the most widely used stainless steel. 304 stainless steel sheet metal is a versatile, anti-rusting and heat resistant steel for general use. 304 stainless steel sheet metal uses include food equipment, plumbing materials, kitchen sinks, and back splashes. 304 stainless steel bright annealed sheet is austenitic, meaning it will not attract or hold a magnet. If you need that option in stainless steel, the 430 grade stainless steel will hold a magnet.
