Stainless steel grinding: functional aesthetics and controlled surface treatment for every application
Grinding is far more than an aesthetic enhancement, it’s a technical surface treatment, both precise and measurable, that combines visual appeal with functional benefits. A well-controlled finish improves sheet processability, provides a uniform appearance, reduces glare, and protects the material against surface damage during handling or use.With over fifty years of experience in stainless steel processing and distribution, Oiki Acciai Inossidabili Spa operates two dedicated in-house Grinding lines: one for sheet-by-sheet processing, the other for coil-to-coil, both designed to meet the needs of precision-driven industrial and architectural applications. Sheet grinding line- Available finishes: Scotch Brite / Duplo- Processable thicknesses:- Grain grinding: from 0.5 mm to 15 mm- Scotch Brite / Duplo: up to 8 mm- Widths: from 1,000 mm to 2,000 mm- Lengths: from 1,400 mm to 10,000 mm- Protective film: Laser or Fibre Laser 100 µm, applicable on one or both sidesOptional services include:- Mechanically repolished 2B-finished sheets- Satin-finished F1 with certified roughness Ra > 0.30 µm Coil-to-Coil Grinding Line- Available finishes: Scotch Brite / Duplo- Grain grindings: from 40 to 320- Processable thicknesses: from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm- Coil widths: 1,000 / 1,250 / 1,500 mm- Protective film: Laser or Fibre Laser 100 µm on one or both sidesThis dual-line configuration enables Oiki to serve both large-scale industrial production and customised projects, especially in sectors where visual detail is functionally critical, such as stainless steel furniture, architecture, exposed systems and cladding. The ability to provide certified Ra surface roughness values and apply laser-compatible protective films ensures full traceability, repeatability, and safety during cutting operations.Choosing Oiki’s stainless steel Grinding service means relying on a fully controlled process, from grit selection to surface protection, with direct oversight on quality, timing, and supply continuity.
