BA Stainless Steel Strip

Bright annealing (BA). Cold rolled and annealed in a controlled atmosphere, the defining feature of the BA surface treatment is its high reflectivity. The stainless steel strip is a common mill form of stainless steel and is typically stocked in three types: heat-treatable, non-heat-treatable, and pre-hardened. The stainless steel strip is formed by processes such as slitting, edging, annealing, shearing, polishing, tempering, and other custom finishing to suit the desired application. Most typically made into coils, stainless steel strips can also be made into shapes such as channels, frames, trims, and angles. Regarding the applications of stainless steel strips, some other applications of stainless steel strips include catalytic converters, building materials, compressor valves, hospital equipment, cutting tools, consumer appliances, and electronic housings. The stainless steel strip is commonly used in industries such as telecommunications, medical, aerospace, construction, automotive, electronics, petrochemical, and food processing.
