Product Description of BA Stainless Steel Sheets
BA stainless steel sheets are a premium grade of stainless steel that is highly sought after for their exquisite surface finish. The BA stainless steel sheets stand for “bright annealed“, a specialized manufacturing process that results in a mirror-like finish on the surface of the steel. This finish is not only visually stunning, but it also provides exceptional corrosion resistance, making BA stainless steel sheets a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
In the bright annealing process, the stainless steel sheets are heated in a controlled environment to a temperature of around 500 degrees Celsius, then slowly cooled in a closed chamber to allow for natural cooling. This process creates a bright, lustrous surface finish that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Unlike other surface finishes, the BA finish is not too bright to cause glare, but it still reflects light well enough to create a stunning visual effect.

FAQ
The main difference between BA stainless steel sheets and other stainless steel sheets is its surface treatment. the surface of BA stainless steel sheets are bright annealed, which makes its surface smooth and uniform, similar to mirror effect, but less bright than a real mirror, while having good corrosion resistance and scratch resistance. While other stainless steel sheets may undergo different surface treatments, such as 2B, NO.1 and other treatments, the surface quality and performance will be different.
The surface treatment process of BA stainless steel sheets are matte annealing, also known as matte treatment or matte burnishing. This process is done by heating the surface of stainless steel sheet to a certain temperature at high temperature and then slowly cooling it to eliminate stress and improve mechanical properties, while forming an oxide film with matte luster on the surface. This oxide film can improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the stainless steel plate and has better cleaning properties.
The corrosion resistance of BA stainless steel sheets are very good. Because BA stainless steel sheets are surface treated, its surface is very smooth and uniform, and there are no scratches, spots and other defects on the surface, so it is not easy to produce rust and corrosion. In addition, the high content of chromium in BA stainless steel sheets can combine with oxygen to form a dense chromium oxide layer, forming a protective film to protect the stainless steel plate from corrosion. Therefore, BA stainless steel sheets have strong corrosion resistance and can be used in various harsh environments, especially in humid, acidic and alkaline environments.
BA stainless steel sheets usually has better antibacterial properties because its surface is specially treated to help reduce the adhesion and reproduction of bacteria. In addition, BA stainless steel sheets also have an easy-to-clean surface that prevents bacterial growth. However, the specific degree of antimicrobial performance also needs to consider the quality of the material and the surface treatment process. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to select the appropriate material and treatment process to meet the antimicrobial needs according to the specific situation.
The main difference between BA stainless steel sheets and 2B stainless steel sheets is the surface treatment process and appearance. 2B stainless steel sheets are the stainless steel sheets with smooth and flat surface and no obvious scratches obtained after a series of processing treatments such as rolling, annealing and pickling. While BA stainless steel sheets are based on 2B stainless steel sheets, after several polishing and bright annealing treatment, so that its surface is smoother and flatter, to achieve a mirror-like effect, and has better corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties. Therefore, BA stainless steel sheets are usually used in fields with high surface requirements, such as medical, laboratory, kitchen, construction, etc.
BA stainless steel sheets and 2BA stainless steel sheets are both surface treated stainless steel plate, but their surface treatment is different. the surface treatment process of BA stainless steel sheets are carried out after bright annealing, and the bright and smooth surface is obtained by electrolytic polishing or mechanical polishing, etc., with mirror effect; while 2BA stainless steel sheets are second polished on the basis of BA stainless steel sheets to obtain a higher surface brightness and smoothness. Therefore, in comparison, 2BA stainless steel sheets have higher surface finish and brightness.
BA stainless steel sheets have excellent processing performance and can be processed in various ways, such as shearing, stamping, drilling, bending, etc. It can also be processed with surface treatment, grinding and polishing. Due to the special nature of its surface treatment process, care needs to be taken to avoid damage and scratches to the surface when processing BA stainless steel sheets, otherwise it will affect its aesthetics and corrosion performance. During the processing, suitable tools and equipment should be selected, and appropriate treatment and adjustment should be made according to the specific processing requirements.
