Surface finish is important to stainless steel tubing. The finishes can be added to improve function and for aesthetic appearance. They can stop corrosion, prevent decay and improve hygiene. Knowing what surface finish to specify depends on the end use. Surface finish processes create different finishes depending on if you need a matte, brushed or mirror finish.
