The No. 2B Finish is recognized for its specific production process and resulting appearance. To achieve this finish, the steel is first cold rolled, then annealed, and subsequently pickled. After these steps, it is lightly rolled once more on polished rolls. The end result is a surface that is smooth and moderately reflective.
Unlike the rougher No. 1 Finish, the No. 2B Finish presents a brighter, more refined look, making it a popular choice in various applications. It is frequently found on kitchen appliances, in equipment used for dairy, food, and beverage processing, and even in certain architectural elements. Balancing both aesthetics and functionality, the No. 2B Finish caters to both visual appeal and practical requirements.
