Best Bright Steel Advantages
Cold-rolled strip steel buyers generally specify one of the following four levels of finish:
- No. 1 or Matte (Dull) Finish: A dull finish that is good for painting or for a surface that needs to adhere to lubricating fluid.
- No. 2 or Regular Bright Finish: This is a popular finish, but not shiny and reflective.
- No. 2B or Better Bright Finish: A smooth finish suitable for those plating applications where high luster is not required.
- No. 3 or Best Bright Finish: This is the premier finish for cold-rolled steel, which requires special rolling practices. No. 3 Best Bright is very difficult to produce and is used for bright plating. It must be carefully processed, supervised and inspected — just the kind of elite treatment that is our specialty at Greer Steel.
Greer Steel is North America’s only producer of No. 3 Best Bright, which is an appliance finish with chrome plating quality.
