Brushed Yellow Bronze Stainless Steel Plate 201 304 430 Series

The production of colored stainless steel sheets via PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) involves three core stages: pre-treatment, PVD coating deposition, and post-treatment, with strict parameter control throughout.

This stage ensures a clean, smooth surface for coating adhesion.

Cutting & Polishing: Cut stainless steel coils/plates to required dimensions via laser or shearing. Polish with abrasive belts/wheels to achieve finishes like mirror, brushed, or matte, and remove minor scratches.

Cleaning: First, degrease with alkaline/solvent solutions to eliminate oil and fingerprints. Then, pickle with nitric-hydrofluoric acid to remove oxide layers and polishing residues. Finally, rinse with deionized water and dry with hot air/infrared to avoid water spots.

Completed in a high-vacuum chamber to ensure coating quality.

Vacuum Setup: Load dried substrates into the chamber, then pump to 10⁻³–10⁻⁵ Pa (high vacuum). Heat substrates to 150–300°C and use argon ion bombardment for deep cleaning.

Target Sputtering & Reaction: Select targets based on color (e.g., titanium for gold, chromium for silver). Use magnetron sputtering (plasma bombards targets to release atoms) or arc ion plating (electric arc melts targets) to vaporize targets. Introduce reactive gases (nitrogen for nitrides, oxygen for oxides); target atoms react with gases to form colored compound films (e.g., TiN for rose gold) on substrates.

Thickness Control: Monitor via a quartz crystal sensor to keep coating thickness at 0.1–1 μm (too thin = poor fastness; too thick = brittleness).

This stage enhances performance and ensures compliance.

Cooling & Finishing: Cool the chamber to room temperature, release vacuum, and unload. Optionally, lightly polish coated surfaces for better gloss.

Quality Checks: Test coating hardness (≥2000 HV via Vickers tester) and adhesion (no peeling via cross-cut tester). Use a spectrophotometer to verify color consistency (ΔE ≤ 1 vs. standards).

Packaging: Wrap qualified sheets in anti-scratch film, then pack in cartons/wooden pallets for transport.

The Brushed Yellow Bronze Stainless Steel Plate offers a compelling aesthetic and functional upgrade for architectural and design applications. Its defining feature is the warm, sophisticated yellow bronze finish, achieved through advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating technology. This process creates a durable, uniform surface that is highly resistant to fading, fingerprints, and corrosion. The subtle brushed texture not only enhances the visual depth and luxury of the metal but also helps to conceal minor scratches and wear, ensuring the material maintains its elegant appearance over time. This combination of a rich, contemporary hue and a practical textured finish makes it an ideal choice for creating striking visual statements in both interior and exterior settings.

Beyond its stunning appearance, this product line provides versatile material choices with the 201, 304, and 430 series, catering to different performance needs and budgets. The 304 series stands out with its exceptional corrosion resistance, thanks to its high nickel and chromium content, making it the premier choice for harsh environments, coastal areas, and applications requiring long-term durability. The 201 series offers a cost-effective alternative with good overall strength and adequate corrosion resistance for many indoor applications, such as elevator interiors, wall cladding, and decorative fixtures. This range allows designers and fabricators to select the optimal grade for their specific project requirements without compromising on the consistent, high-quality finish.

Furthermore, the inherent properties of stainless steel ensure that these plates are not only beautiful but also immensely practical and long-lasting. All three series provide excellent strength, hardness, and ease of fabrication, allowing them to be cut, bent, and welded for custom designs. The PVD coating is exceptionally tough, offering superior adhesion and resistance to chipping compared to traditional plating methods. This results in a low-maintenance material that is easy to clean and capable of withstanding the rigors of daily use. From luxury retail spaces and modern appliances to kitchen backsplashes and architectural highlights, this collection delivers a perfect synergy of enduring beauty, structural integrity, and value.
