  • Method of Making Faux Stainless Steel Finish on Bare Carbon Steel Substrate
    Publication number: 20110275284
    Abstract: A faux stainless steel sheet material of ferrous carbon sheet steel core is polished in a polishing apparatus comprising a series of commercially available polishing heads each of which utilizes a polishing belt of a predetermined grit mesh and size, belt speed, belt oscillations transverse to the sheet steel conveyed direction, at predetermined conveyance rate of the sheet steel and pressure. The polishing heads scratch the material surface wherein the scratches mimic a stainless steel finish such as #4 stainless steel finish (80 mesh). An example and sample are described in one embodiment of the invention.
