Is it possible to get a matte finish on stainless steel?
You should be able to electro etch your parts and achieve a passive finish at the same time. Yes. Sand blasting and bead blasting can be used to obtain a matte finish. However, please make sure the shop uses virgin blasting media in order not to contaminate the stainless steel surface.
Is there a way to make stainless steel finish dull?
A. Unless you need to be selective, You can achieve a dull matte finish in a number of ways. Probably the most common is to abrasive blast the part. It can also be accomplished using mass finishing equipment and chemically.
Which is the best finish for stainless steel?
Common finish types for stainless steel are nondirectional, No. 4 finish, or mirror polish. Your abrasive choice depends on the visual or roughness average (Ra) finish requirements. For rough grinding, a 36- or 40-grit flap disc works well.
How is a no.2b stainless steel finish made?
In this case, the thickness can range based on skin passing capacity. To produce a No. 2B finish, stainless steel is cold rolled through a special roller. This produces a smooth, less pitted surface. Then, the surface is softened and descaled in an acid solution. Finally, it passes through polishing rolls for further smoothness.

What’s the best way to get a matte finish?
Ceramic blasting followed by electropolishing will do the trick. You’ll achieve a matte/luster/satin finish with all the benefits of an electropolished surface regarding corrosion resistance. In Holland it is called soft-tone EP and it is being used in maritime and railway environments.
