Satin colored stainless steel

The forged colored stainless steel is a high-end artistic decorative metal material that is produced through mechanical rolling and hammering, mold pressing, or pure hand forging processes. These processes create uneven and undulating forging textures on the surface of the stainless steel. Then, it undergoes PVD vacuum coating or anodizing coloring treatment. The surface of the forged colored stainless steel exhibits a natural texture similar to that of hand-forged metal - such as craters, lunar patterns, water ripple effects, and fine hammer marks. Combined with rich metallic colors, it presents dynamic visual layers in the flow of light and shadow. The product combines the high strength, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, and flame retardancy of stainless steel with the unique artistic expression of forging textures. It is an ideal material for creating spatial texture and humanistic atmosphere in high-end hotels, commercial spaces, art exhibition halls, new Chinese-style clubs, and home customization fields.

Production Principle

1. Mechanical Roll-Pressing Texture Method (Mass Production Standardization)

Using a large-scale CNC rolling equipment, two alloy steel rollers with engraved concave-convex textures on their surfaces (material: Cr12MoV, hardness: HRC 58-62) are employed to extrude and shape stainless steel sheets. The rollers are heated to 150-200°C to enhance the plasticity of the sheets, with a rolling speed of 15-25m/min and a reduction rate of 5%-15%. This results in the simultaneous appearance of concave-convex patterns on both sides of the sheet, commonly known as "double-sided embossing". The texture depth is uniform and consistent, with a deviation of the pattern consistency ≤ 0.05mm, making it suitable for mass production and standardization.

2. Mold Imprinting Method (Efficient Embossing Texture)

Using a pre-engraved mold with patterns, the stainless steel sheet is pressed and imprinted in one go, quickly replicating hammering textures, forging patterns, etc. It is highly efficient and has relatively controllable costs. The edge of the pattern is smooth, making it suitable for processing roll materials with a regular thickness of 0.4-1.2mm.

3. Pure Hand-Made Forging Method (High-End Art Customization)

Craftsmen use tools such as hammers and chisels to strike the surface of the sheet at different intensities, angles, and density of impact points, forming 20-30μm deep concave-convex textures. Hand forging cannot be fully mechanized and replicated. Each sheet has a unique texture, and this "human touch" gives the product unique artistic collection value.


Core Advantages


1. The natural forging texture, with rich layers of light and shadow

The uneven texture breaks the coldness of the metal, creating a dynamic visual effect through light reflection and scattering. The texture varies at different angles and under different lighting conditions, creating a profound spatial layering effect, which is impossible to be replicated by flat panels.

2. Each piece is unique (hand-forged series)

The hammering force, angle, and landing point of each hand-forged panel are different, giving each piece a unique texture that cannot be replicated. This "human touch" gives the product an art value and collection attributes at the level of a handicraft.

3. Natural scratch-resistant camouflage, remaining as new as ever

The uneven texture on the forging surface is itself an excellent "scratch camouflage" - the minor scratches produced during daily use blend into the texture, making them almost invisible visually. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for high-frequency usage scenarios, maintaining its texture as new even after years of use.

4. Exceptional corrosion resistance, suitable for harsh environments

Using 304/316 stainless steel as the base material, the salt spray test is ≥ 1000 hours without rust (304 base material). Impact-resistant, non-fading, suitable for exterior walls, damp areas (swimming pools, water curtain displays), marine engineering, etc., in demanding environments.

5. Fireproof and flame-retardant, compliant with safety standards

The stainless steel material itself has excellent fire resistance, non-flammable, and does not release toxic gases, meeting the fire safety requirements of commercial spaces, suitable for sales centers, department stores, hotels, etc., where strict fire safety standards are required.

6. Color and texture can be freely combined

20+ classic colors (champagne gold, rose gold, bronze, black titanium, gemstone blue, deep space gray, etc.) × various texture specifications (fine hammer pattern / medium hammer pattern / coarse hammer pattern / random hammer pattern / meteorite pattern / lunar crater pattern / constellation pattern, etc.) can be customized according to needs (Panasonic color code / sample color matching), with extremely high design freedom.
