SS 2B Sheets / Plates
What are SS 2B Sheets / Plates
SS 2B Sheets / Plates refer to stainless steel sheets with a smooth, matte-grey finish produced by cold rolling followed by annealing and descaling. The “2B” finish is the most common surface finish for stainless steel sheets, offering a combination of excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and low reflectivity.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading manufacturer and exporter of SS 2B Sheets and Plates, offering customized sizes, thicknesses, and grades including 304, 316, and 430 to meet diverse industry needs.
Key Features
- Smooth Matte Finish – Non-reflective, uniform surface suitable for visible and concealed applications.
- Excellent Formability – Easy to bend, draw, or stamp for fabrication purposes.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for chemical, food, and marine environments.
- Low Maintenance – Resistant to stains, easy to clean, and hygienic.
- Versatile Applications – Ideal for kitchenware, elevators, fabrication, and more.

Do you have questions?
What is the difference between 2B finish and BA finish?
2B is a matte finish, while BA (Bright Annealed) is highly reflective. 2B is more common in industrial applications.
Are SS 2B Sheets suitable for laser cutting?
Yes, the smooth, non-reflective surface is ideal for precise laser cutting and fabrication.
Can SS 2B plates be used outdoors?
Yes, particularly if using grades like 316, which offer high corrosion resistance in marine and outdoor environments.
Do you offer custom thicknesses or lengths?
Absolutely. We provide customized sizing to match your project specifications.
