BA (Bright Annealed) is the abbreviation of Bright Annealed, which is produced by heat treatment in a controlled atmosphere furnace. It has a smooth, bright reflective surface with a mirror-like appearance, but may have some cloudiness and other imperfections.
430 BA Stainless Steel is a type of BA finish stainless steel that has a bright, mirror-like finish. Usually, 430 BA stainless steel is composed of chromium and nickel, which gives it excellent corrosion resistance.
The 430 bright annealed stainless steel is commonly used in applications that require a high level of hygiene, such as kitchen appliances, sinks, and medical equipment. As a stainless steel sheet wholesale manufacturer, our 430 BA stainless steel is an ideal choice for multiple industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties and beautiful surface treatment.

Brief Introdction | BA (Bright Annealed) is a specific surface treatment produced by cold rolled stainless steel mills up to a thickness of 3.0 mm. During production, stainless steel is annealed in an inert gas atmosphere after cold rolling. This produces a reflective, shiny, smooth surface structure which, depending on the manufacturer and batch, can approach lower quality grades of mirror-polished stainless steel. However, stainless steel mills do not provide any guarantees, standards or tolerances for the finish of BA, and the surface quality or its gloss and reflectivity can vary from production lot to lot. |
One area where stainless steel BA surfaces are frequently used is where aesthetic appearance is important, namely: All decorative applications:
Architecture,
Store construction,
Yachting and shipbuilding,
Machine made,
Bathroom industry,
Gastronomy and catering industry,
Swimming pool and spa complex,
Medical instruments and others.
