There are often customers who request the processing technology of stainless steel pipe to be mirror polished, so many people do not understand what the "8k" of 8k mirror stainless steel pipe means.
In fact, it is a surface treatment standard of stainless steel. The surface of the stainless steel tube is polished and polished, and the surface is as bright as a mirror and can reflect the object. It is called a mirror surface 8k.
The stainless steel tube is a kind of chromium-nickel alloy steel, and "8" in 8K refers to the proportion of alloying components (304 stainless steel mainly refers to the content of nickel element), and "k" refers to the reflectance level after polishing (k The level is the specular reflection level). Therefore, the 8k mirror surface is the mirror grade reflected by the chrome-nickel alloy steel.
In addition, depending on the customer's fineness of the stainless steel surface, 6k, 10k and other stainless steel tubes can be extended. The larger the number, the higher the surface fineness. But it is not that the higher the surface fineness, the better. However, the higher the value of K, the higher the technical requirements, and the higher the price is certain.
Generally, stainless steel tubes like 8k mirrors have higher ornamental value, so they are generally used as decorative tubes.
