| Building Construction. |
| ASTM A480 | No. 2D | Cold-rolled , dull finish ; | A smooth , nonreflective cold-rolled annealed
and pickled or descaled finish . This nondiredtional finish is favorable for
retention of lubricants in deep drawing applications . |
| No. 2B | Cold-rolled , bright finish ; | A smooth , moderately reflective cold-rolled
annealed and pickled or descaled finish typically produced by imparting a
final light cold-rolled pass using polished rolls . This general-purpose
finish is more readily polished than No.1 or 2D finishes . |
| Bright Annealed | A bright cold-rolled finish retained by final
annealing in a controlled atmosphere furnace . | A smooth , bright , reflective finish typically
produced by cold rolling followed by annealing in a protective astmosphere so
as to prevent osidation and scaling during annealing . |
| No. 3 | Intermediate polished finish , one or both
sides . | A linearly textured finish that may be produced
by either mechanical polishing or rolling . Average surface roughness ( Ra)
may generally be up to 40 micro-inches . ...... |
| No. 4 | General purpose polished finish , one or both
sides . | A linearly textured finish that may be produced
by either mechanical polishing or rolling . Average surface roughness ( Ra)
may generally be up to 25 micro-inches . ...... |
| No.6 | Dull stain finish , Tampico Brushed , one or
both sides . | This finish has a soft , satin appearance
typically produced by tampico brushing a No.4 finish . |
| No. 7 | High luster finish . | Has a high degree of reflectivity . |
| No. 8 | Mirror finish . | This is a highly reflective , smooth finish
typically produced by polishing with successively finer grit abrasives . Then
buffing . |
| TR | Cold-worked to obtain specified properties
. | The finish resulting from the cold-rolling of
an annealed and descaled or bright annealed product to obtain mechanical
properties higher tahn that of the annealed condition . |
| GB/T
3280-2015 | 2E | Cold rolled , heat treated
, mechanically descaled . | Rough and dull . |
| 2D | Cold rolled , heat treated
, pickled or descaled . | The surface is uniform and matte . |
| 2B | Cold rolled , heat treated
, pickled or descaled , skin passed . | Smoother and straighter than 2D surface . |
| BA | Cold rolled , bright
annealed . | Smooth, shiny and reflective . |
| 3# | Brushed or matte finished
on one or both sides . | No reverse texture, no reflection . |
| 4# | Apply universal polished to
one or both sides . | No directional texture , reflective . |
| 6# | Single side or double side
matte satin finish polished , tan leather research mill . | Matte and no directional texture . |
| 7# | High gloss surface finished
. | Smooth, high reflectance . |
| 8# | 8K super mirror finished . | Directionless texture, high reflectance, clear image . |
| TR | Cold hardened treatment . | Should be changed according the material and
the cold amount . |
| HL | Cold rolled, pickled,
leveled, grinded . | Continuous grinding pattern . |
