201 304 316 430 Series Brushed Bronze Stainless Steel Plate

1. Premium Aesthetic for Modern Architecture
   Our Brushed Bronze Stainless Steel Plates offer a refined, warm metallic finish that elevates both interior and exterior architectural designs. Available in 201, 304, 316, and 430 series, each grade delivers a consistent brushed bronze texture that balances sophistication with contemporary minimalism. The finish resists fingerprints and light scratches, maintaining its luster in high-traffic environments—ideal for façades, elevator cladding, wall panels, and decorative accents in commercial and residential projects.

2. Tailored Performance Across Environments
   Different alloy compositions cater to diverse structural and environmental demands. The 201 series provides a cost-effective solution for indoor applications with moderate corrosion resistance. The 304 grade offers excellent general-purpose performance, suitable for most interior and mild exterior uses. For coastal or high-humidity settings, the 316 series—with added molybdenum—delivers superior resistance to chlorides and harsh weathering. The 430 series, a ferritic stainless steel, serves well in dry, indoor decorative contexts where magnetic properties or budget considerations are key.

3. Sustainable, Low-Maintenance Design Solution
   Engineered for longevity, these plates require minimal upkeep while retaining their visual appeal over time. Their inherent corrosion resistance eliminates the need for protective coatings, reducing lifecycle costs and environmental impact. Fully recyclable and compliant with green building standards, Brushed Bronze Stainless Steel Plates support sustainable construction without compromising on style or structural integrity. Whether used in luxury retail spaces, hospitality venues, or urban infrastructure, they merge timeless aesthetics with responsible material choice.

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.

Superior Aesthetics and Durability

The 201 and 304 series brushed bronze stainless steel plates offer an exceptional blend of sophisticated aesthetics and robust performance. The unique brushed finish provides a warm, contemporary texture that effectively conceals minor fingerprints and scratches, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. The rich, consistent bronze tone, achieved through advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, adds a layer of luxury and visual depth unmatched by standard stainless steel. This combination creates a premium material that elevates any design, from modern architectural cladding and elevator interiors to high-end appliances and decorative features, ensuring a lasting impression of quality and style.

Enhanced Corrosion Resistance and Material Versatility

Beneath its beautiful surface, this product category provides excellent mechanical properties tailored to different environmental demands. The 304 series, with its higher nickel content, delivers superior resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it the perfect choice for harsh environments, coastal applications, and exterior facades. The 201 series offers a more cost-effective yet highly durable alternative, well-suited for interior applications such as wall panels, column covers, and furniture where corrosion pressures are lower. Both grades maintain the inherent strength and formability of stainless steel, allowing for flexibility in fabrication and ensuring structural integrity in diverse architectural and design projects.

Long-Term Value and Low Maintenance

Investing in 201 and 304 brushed bronze stainless steel plate translates to significant long-term value and ease of maintenance. The PVD coating is not merely a surface layer but is permanently bonded to the steel substrate, ensuring exceptional color fastness and resistance to fading, even when exposed to UV light. This durability drastically reduces the need for frequent repainting or refinishing, lowering lifecycle costs. Furthermore, the non-porous nature of the stainless steel base, protected by the bronze coating, makes cleaning simple—typically requiring only a soft cloth and mild detergent to restore its original luster. This results in a stunning, low-maintenance material that retains its beauty and performance for years to come.
