Other finishes applied to this metal - available for fabricated items only:

Stainless steel with satin finish

Satin Finish

Satin finish is a type of finish applied on stainless steel 2B usually after fabrication of counter tops. The idea behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds are not as visible, giving the part fabricated the appearance of a solid piece. In counter tops, a satin finish is a nice alternative to a 2B finish, because a 2B material comes with no protective film, meaning it has some scratches from the factory and it also gets scratched during production. In any case, a counter top will get scratched with usage, which will look normal after a while, but it will be very noticeable at first. A satin finish makes it so these new scratches are not nearly as visible.

Darkened Stainless Steel

Darkened / Blackened Finish

Darkened finish or Blackened Finish is a type of finish applied on stainless steel, wither 2B, Satin or #4 after the fabrication of custom products, such as hood vents. This finish can be applied brushed, or in a more random form, like a patina that would normally develop in products such as copper and brass.
