Black Titanium Series Stainless Steel Sheet 201 304 316 430 Series
Product information
1. Sleek Dark Luxury: Modern Aesthetic for Contemporary Spaces
The Black Titanium Series Stainless Steel Plate (201/304/316/430) delivers understated opulence with its deep, uniform black titanium finish—distinct from warm-toned metallic materials. Its smooth, low-gloss surface avoids harsh reflections, instead emitting a subtle, sophisticated sheen that elevates modern interiors. Ideal for high-end office lobbies, minimalist residential accent walls, or luxury hotel elevator cabins, it pairs seamlessly with white marble, gray concrete, or chrome fixtures to create bold contrast or monochromatic harmony. Unlike retro-inspired finishes, its dark palette embodies sleekness, making it a go-to choice for designs aiming for urban chic or futuristic elegance.
2. Grade-Tailored Durability: Targeted Performance for Diverse Environments
This series’ 4 stainless steel grades address varied architectural needs, with unique strengths for different scenarios. The 316 grade stands out for superior salt spray resistance—perfect for coastal building exteriors or poolside cladding (withstanding marine humidity). 304 grade suits indoor damp areas like restaurant kitchens or bathroom backsplashes (resisting water stains). 201 grade offers cost-effective durability for dry commercial spaces (retail display walls, office partitions), while 430 grade ensures basic rust resistance for residential use (custom closet doors, entryway panels). All grades feature a scratch-resistant black titanium coating that hides minor smudges, with maintenance limited to wiping with a lint-free cloth and mild cleaner.
3. Flexible Fabrication: Adaptable to Large-Scale & Custom Designs
Designed for modern architectural demands, the plate supports versatile processing. It comes in standard 1220x2440mm sizes and enables seamless splicing for large-area installations (e.g., mall atrium walls). It can be bent into curved shapes (for rounded columns) or laser-cut into custom patterns (for decorative screens), with the black titanium finish remaining intact post-processing. Its lightweight nature reduces installation labor and transportation costs. Additionally, it pairs uniquely with LED strip lights—its dark surface amplifies light contrast, making it ideal for accent lighting in luxury bars or high-end retail windows, fitting both commercial and residential modern design projects.

PVD Colored Stainless Steel Sheet Production Process
The production of colored stainless steel sheets via PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) involves three core stages: pre-treatment, PVD coating deposition, and post-treatment, with strict parameter control throughout.
1. Pre-Treatment (Substrate Preparation)
This stage ensures a clean, smooth surface for coating adhesion.
Cutting & Polishing: Cut stainless steel coils/plates to required dimensions via laser or shearing. Polish with abrasive belts/wheels to achieve finishes like mirror, brushed, or matte, and remove minor scratches.
Cleaning: First, degrease with alkaline/solvent solutions to eliminate oil and fingerprints. Then, pickle with nitric-hydrofluoric acid to remove oxide layers and polishing residues. Finally, rinse with deionized water and dry with hot air/infrared to avoid water spots.
2. PVD Coating Deposition (Color Formation Core)
Completed in a high-vacuum chamber to ensure coating quality.
Vacuum Setup: Load dried substrates into the chamber, then pump to 10⁻³–10⁻⁵ Pa (high vacuum). Heat substrates to 150–300°C and use argon ion bombardment for deep cleaning.
Target Sputtering & Reaction: Select targets based on color (e.g., titanium for gold, chromium for silver). Use magnetron sputtering (plasma bombards targets to release atoms) or arc ion plating (electric arc melts targets) to vaporize targets. Introduce reactive gases (nitrogen for nitrides, oxygen for oxides); target atoms react with gases to form colored compound films (e.g., TiN for rose gold) on substrates.
Thickness Control: Monitor via a quartz crystal sensor to keep coating thickness at 0.1–1 μm (too thin = poor fastness; too thick = brittleness).
3. Post-Treatment & Inspection
This stage enhances performance and ensures compliance.
Cooling & Finishing: Cool the chamber to room temperature, release vacuum, and unload. Optionally, lightly polish coated surfaces for better gloss.
Quality Checks: Test coating hardness (≥2000 HV via Vickers tester) and adhesion (no peeling via cross-cut tester). Use a spectrophotometer to verify color consistency (ΔE ≤ 1 vs. standards).
Packaging: Wrap qualified sheets in anti-scratch film, then pack in cartons/wooden pallets for transport.
Advantage
The Black Titanium Series Stainless Steel Plate offers a superior fusion of aesthetic appeal and robust performance. Its most striking feature is the permanent, deep black titanium coating, achieved through advanced PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or high-temperature immersion processes. This coating is exceptionally resistant to fading, peeling, and chipping, ensuring the elegant, modern finish withstands the test of time and harsh environmental exposure. Beyond its visual impact, the surface provides enhanced resistance to fingerprints and minor scratches, making it ideal for applications where both appearance and durability are critical. This series transforms standard stainless steel into a premium material, offering a sleek, contemporary alternative to traditional finishes.
Beyond its aesthetic superiority, this series leverages the inherent material-specific strengths of the 201, 304, 316, and 430 grades to meet diverse application demands. For general use and interior designs, the 201 and 304 series provide excellent corrosion resistance and formability. The 316 series stands out with its exceptional resistance to chlorides and harsh chemicals, making it the optimal choice for marine environments, coastal architecture, and chemical processing plants. For applications where cost-effectiveness is a priority while still requiring a durable and corrosion-resistant material for indoor settings, the 430 series presents a valuable ferritic option. This range ensures there is a perfect Black Titanium solution for every technical and budgetary requirement.
The functional versatility of the Black Titanium Series is a key advantage, making it suitable for a vast array of industries. It is extensively used in high-end architectural cladding, elevator interiors, and luxury appliance manufacturing, where its sophisticated look enhances product value. Furthermore, its durability makes it perfect for automotive trim, commercial kitchen equipment, and specialized industrial machinery. The plates maintain all the desirable properties of the underlying stainless steel, including strength, ease of fabrication, and hygienic non-porous surfaces, while the black coating adds an extra layer of protection. This combination of stunning design, material excellence, and multi-sector applicability makes the Black Titanium Series an intelligent and premium choice for demanding projects.
