Economical Brushed Decorative Sheet, Offering a Modern Matte Finish for Interior Decoration, Appliance Panels, and Furniture
| Element | Content (%) | Functional Role |
|---|---|---|
| Cr | 16.0–18.0 | Forms a passive film, provides atmospheric corrosion resistance, oxide film self-repair rate 0.1nm/h in indoor environments. |
| C | ≤0.12 | Higher carbon improves strength, but intergranular corrosion risk in welding (not recommended for welded parts). |
| Ti | – | No stabilizing elements added, reducing cost but with weaker intergranular corrosion resistance than stabilized grades such as 321. |

GTAW/TIG welding recommended; post-weld annealing (750–800 ℃) required to minimize intergranular corrosion.
Not recommended for humid or wet environments (e.g., bathrooms) unless additional anti-rust treatment is applied.
