Brushed Steel

Material Surface Finish Metallic

Manufacturing Replication Process Description

Brushed or dull polished metal is metal with a unidirectional

satin finish. It is produced by polishing the metal with a

120–180 grit belt or wheel then softening with an 80–120 grit

greaseless compound or a medium non-woven abrasive belt

or pad.

Material Origin

In 1913, Harry Brearley created the first real stainless steel.

He generated a metal that he discovered to be corrosion-

and rust-resistant by adding 12.8% chromium to iron. While

trying to find a fix for the British army's cannon barrels

eroding, Brearley came across this metal.
