Gold Mirror Stainless Steel Sheet SUS304 SS Sheet Thickness 0.4 -
1.5mm for Decoration Materials
Gold mirror stainless steel sheet of grade SUS304 is a
high-performance decorative material, renowned for its striking
golden mirror finish, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior
mechanical strength. It is widely favored in interior and exterior
decoration fields, as it combines aesthetic appeal with durable
performance, making it an ideal choice for elevating the visual
quality of various spaces and products.
1. Chemical Composition
SUS304 is austenitic stainless steel, and its chemical composition
strictly adheres to industry standards to ensure its core
properties (e.g., corrosion resistance, weldability). The typical
chemical composition (by weight percentage) is as follows:
| Element | Content Range (%) | Function |
|---|
| Chromium (Cr) | 18.00 - 20.00 | The primary element for corrosion resistance; forms a dense oxide
film on the surface. |
| Nickel (Ni) | 8.00 - 10.50 | Stabilizes the austenitic structure, enhancing toughness and
low-temperature performance. |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08 | Controls hardness; low carbon content reduces intergranular
corrosion risk. |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 1.00 | Improves high-temperature oxidation resistance and processability. |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.00 | Aids in deoxidation during production and enhances strength. |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.045 | Minimized to avoid brittleness and ensure structural integrity. |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 | Reduced to prevent hot cracking during welding and improve
corrosion resistance. |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance | The base metal that forms the alloy’s structural framework. |
2. Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of SUS304 gold mirror stainless steel
sheets (in the annealed state, suitable for decorative processing)
meet the requirements of high durability and formability, ensuring
they can withstand common processing and usage scenarios:
| Property | Typical Value | Test Standard Reference |
|---|
| Tensile Strength (σb) | ≥ 515 MPa | ASTM A240 / JIS G4305 |
| Yield Strength (σ0.2) | ≥ 205 MPa | ASTM A240 / JIS G4305 |
| Elongation (in 50mm, δ) | ≥ 40% | ASTM A240 / JIS G4305 |
| Hardness (Brinell, HB) | ≤ 201 | ASTM E10 |
| Hardness (Rockwell, HRB) | ≤ 92 | ASTM E18 |
These properties ensure the sheet can be bent, cut, or polished
without cracking, while maintaining long-term structural stability
in decorative applications.
3. Product Specifications
The product is tailored for decorative use, with specifications
optimized to balance flexibility and usability:
- Grade: SUS304 (AISI 304, EN 1.4301) – the most widely used
austenitic stainless steel for decorative purposes.
- Thickness: 0.4mm - 1.5mm – the optimal thickness range for
decoration: thinner sheets (0.4-0.8mm) are suitable for lightweight
applications (e.g., wall panels), while thicker sheets (1.0-1.5mm)
work for high-wear areas (e.g., elevator doors).
- Width: Common widths include 1000mm, 1219mm, and 1500mm (custom
widths available upon request).
- Length: Standard lengths are 2000mm, 2438mm, and 3000mm (custom
lengths supported for bulk orders).
- Mirror Finish Quality: Achieves a 8K mirror effect (the highest
standard for decorative stainless steel), with a surface roughness
(Ra) ≤ 0.02μm. The golden coating is evenly applied via vacuum
plating or electroplating, with a thickness of 0.1-0.3μm for
long-lasting color retention.
4. Product Standards
To ensure consistency, quality, and safety, the gold mirror
stainless steel sheet complies with international and regional
standards:
- ASTM A240/A240M (USA): Specifies requirements for chromium and
chromium-nickel stainless steel plates, sheets, and strips for
pressure vessels and general applications.
- JIS G4305 (Japan): Defines stainless steel plates, sheets, and
strips, including chemical composition and mechanical property
requirements.
- EN 10088-2 (Europe): Covers flat products of stainless steels for
general purposes, ensuring corrosion resistance and processability.
- GB/T 3280 (China): National standard for stainless steel
cold-rolled plates and sheets, widely used in domestic decoration
projects.
- Coating Standards: The golden plating meets ASTM B480 (for
vacuum-deposited metallic coatings) and ISO 1463 (for corrosion
resistance of electroplated coatings), ensuring no peeling or
discoloration under normal use.
5. Other Colors and Surface Finishes
Beyond the golden mirror finish, SUS304 stainless steel sheets
offer diverse color and surface options to match different
decorative styles:
5.1 Other Mirror Colors
- Rose gold: Popular for luxury interiors (e.g., jewelry stores,
high-end hotels) due to its warm, elegant tone.
- Black: Creates a modern, minimalist look; suitable for contemporary
homes or commercial spaces (e.g., bar counters).
- Silver (natural SUS304 mirror): The classic mirror finish, widely
used in areas requiring a bright, clean appearance (e.g., kitchen
backsplashes).
- Champagne gold: A softer alternative to standard gold, ideal for
neutral-toned interiors.
5.2 Non-Mirror Surface Finishes
- Brushed finish (hairline): Features fine parallel lines, offering a
matte, textured look; resistant to fingerprints, suitable for
high-touch areas (e.g., door handles).
- Etched finish: Custom patterns (e.g., floral, geometric) can be
etched on the surface, adding design versatility for decorative
panels.
- Sandblasted finish: Creates a uniform, frosted appearance, often
used in semi-private spaces (e.g., bathroom partitions).
