Color Electroplating Series
Core Introduction
Color electroplated stainless steel is produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) or electrochemical plating to deposit a metal/alloy layer on the stainless steel surface, creating multiple colors and decorative finishes.
In vacuum or electrolytic environments, gas media (such as nitrogen and oxygen) react with metal ions so color bonds to the substrate and forms a uniform, stable decorative layer.
Compared with conventional surface treatment, color electroplating not only improves visual effect, but also provides better wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and metallic texture. It is widely used in architectural decoration, commercial spaces, and high-end interiors.
Process Advantages
Rich color options and diverse metallic effects
Uniform coating and premium surface texture
Good wear resistance and corrosion resistance
Can be combined with hairline, sandblasting, etching, and other textures
Suitable for large-area decorative applications
Supports anti-fingerprint treatment to improve user experience
Better metallic texture and durability than paint-only solutions
Technical Parameters
Substrate grade: 201 / 304 / 316 stainless steel
Thickness range: 0.3 mm - 3.0 mm
Coating thickness: typically around 1 um (not over 3 um)
Maximum size: vertical furnace up to 10 m length; horizontal furnace usually within 4 m
Process route: PVD / electrochemical plating
Surface textures: Hairline / Mirror / Sandblasted / Random / Satin / Cross-hairline
Double-side plating: supported (cold-furnace process)
Surface topcoat: usually anti-fingerprint coating
Applications
Architectural facades, elevator panels, hotel decoration, commercial interiors, display cabinets, bar counters, partition screens, furniture decoration.
Color electroplated sheet is one of the most widely used stainless steel surface solutions in high-end decorative spaces.
Manufacturing Process
Machine cleaning (basic cleaning) -> Manual fine cleaning (for high-requirement panels) -> Punching / furnace hanging -> Enter plating furnace (vacuum or electrolytic environment) -> Color coating (PVD or electroplating) -> Furnace-out treatment -> Surface film / anti-fingerprint treatment
Typical process combinations:
Hairline Rose Gold: slitting -> hairline -> color coating -> anti-fingerprint
Mirror + bead-blast gunmetal: mirror -> bead-blast -> color coating -> anti-fingerprint
Etched elevator panel: etching -> color coating -> anti-fingerprint
Surface Color and Treatment
1. Common colors: Titanium Gold, Champagne Gold, Rose Gold, Black Titanium, Antique Bronze, Grey Steel, Sapphire Blue, Deep Brown
2. Special colors: Purple / Green / Multi-color gradient
(Some highly saturated colors are not recommended for outdoor use.)
FAQ
Will color electroplated sheets fade?
Under normal process control, fading is uncommon. If pre-cleaning or coating control is poor, "titanium peeling" can occur.
Why can different batches have color differences?
Color tuning depends on equipment and process control. Different furnace runs may create slight color variation, so one project should use one batch when possible.
How large can color electroplated sheets be?
Vertical furnaces can reach around 10 meters; horizontal furnace applications are generally recommended within 4 meters.
Can all colors be produced?
Most colors can be achieved, but very high-saturation colors (such as China Red or orange) are harder to stabilize.
Can these sheets be used outdoors?
Standard colors are mainly for indoor use. Some colors require additional UV-resistant treatment for outdoor environments.
Is thicker sheet always better for electroplating?
Not necessarily. Thickness mainly impacts structure and cost, and has limited effect on plating film thickness.
Can sheets from different batches be spliced together?
Cross-batch splicing is not recommended due to visible color differences.
Antique Art Metal Series
1 / 11
Core Introduction
Antique-finish stainless steel combines multiple processes such as copper plating, blackening, oxidation, coloring, manual hairline brushing, and random-grain treatment to reproduce antique copper, bronze, red copper, yellow copper, and rust-like artistic effects.
Its texture is not a single mechanical repeat. Through manual treatment and oxidation reactions, it forms layered and aged surface character so every sheet has its own vintage appearance.
Compared with standard colored stainless steel, antique-finish series emphasizes artistic expression, atmosphere, and material depth. It is widely used in premium commercial spaces, hotels, clubs, feature walls, display cabinets, elevator decoration, and classical-style interiors.
Process Advantages
Strong vintage character and richer decorative expression
Naturally unique sheet-to-sheet texture and stronger artistic value
Can simulate antique copper, bronze, and rusted metal effects
Retains stainless steel substrate strength with high decorative quality
Suitable for high-end Chinese, European, hotel, and club spaces
Can be layered with etching, embossing, and transfer printing for added depth
Surface sealing/oil protection provides practical durability and anti-rust support
If real copper base plating is used, a true copper layer is formed and overall texture/durability is usually better than paint-only effects.
Technical Parameters
Substrate grade: 201 / 304 / 316 stainless steel
Standard thickness: 0.5 mm - 3.0 mm
Recommended thickness: within 2.5 mm
Maximum width: within 1.5 m

Maximum achievable length: around 7 m
Surface process: copper plating / blackening / oxidation / manual brushing / random grain / spray coloring / sealing oil
Compatible combined processes: etching / embossing / transfer printing
MOQ: usually from 5 sheets
Sample fee: around CNY 300 per sample
Special notes:
Antique-finish sheets are mostly handmade and cannot be 100% identical.
Seamless splicing across different batches is not recommended. Reserve 10%-20% extra quantity.
Thick-sheet processing is more expensive, and plating/handwork time rises with thickness.
Applications
Feature walls, column wrapping, display cabinets, ceilings, wall decoration, door frames/opening trims, elevator panels/door frames, furniture decoration, decorative components, exterior facades.
Manufacturing Process
1. Standard antique-finish route
Slitting -> Surface sanding -> Base treatment (copper plating / electroplating / water plating) -> Chemical oxidation for distressed effect -> Manual irregular pattern/texture creation -> Surface cleaning -> Repeated polishing adjustment (3-4 rounds) -> Manual spray coloring -> Sealing protection -> Protective film
2. Hairline blackened red/green/yellow antique copper route
Slitting -> Sanding -> Copper plating -> Blackened nickel process -> Manual hairline or random-grain treatment -> Oil protection -> Protective film
3. Optional combined routes
Etch then antique finish / Emboss then antique finish / Transfer print then antique finish
Antique-finish series usually involves many steps (commonly 5-10+) with a typical lead time of around 10-15 days.
Surface Color and Treatment
Colors:
Antique Green Bronze, Antique Red Bronze, Antique Yellow Bronze, Blackened Antique Bronze, Rustic Bronze, Verdigris, and other custom vintage palettes.
Optional texture effects: manual hairline grain, manual random grain, rust-style distressing, oxidation mottled texture, and combined processes such as etching, embossing, and transfer printing.
Natural texture variation between sheets and batches is a core feature of this series.
FAQ
Can every antique-finish sheet be exactly identical?
No. Most effects are handmade. Sheets can be highly similar but never 100% identical, and this is part of their artistic value.
Is copper plating always required?
Not always. Some effects use copper as a base layer, while others can be achieved on 2B base depending on target look and budget.
Why do colors vary between batches?
Because this process depends on manual operation and oxidation reaction, natural variation in tone/texture is expected.
Is this series suitable for outdoor use?
It can be enhanced with outdoor protective oil, but outdoor projects need additional cost and environment-specific evaluation.
Why is lead time longer?
The workflow is complex and highly manual, often including oxidation, polishing, spray coloring, and sealing; typical production is 10-15 days.
Can bending cause edge cracking or whitening?
Some routes may have this risk, especially on thick sheets or paint-heavy systems. Design and processing planning should include preventive measures and repair options.
What is the maximum sheet size?
Recommended width is within 1.5 m and length within 4.5 m. Oversize sheets are possible but with much higher difficulty and cost.
Metal Etching Series
1 / 8
Core Introduction
Etched metal sheet is a decorative material that uses chemical corrosion to form patterns, textures, and relief effects on stainless steel surfaces.
By protecting selected areas and etching only target zones, the pattern is "engraved" into the sheet and creates layered visual depth with fine detail.
Etching is often combined with hairline, sandblasting, electroplating, copper plating, antique finishing, and transfer printing for richer visual expression.
It features high detail, layered depth, and strong customization, and is widely used in elevator decoration, feature walls, commercial spaces, and high-end projects.
Process Advantages
Supports high-precision complex graphics (landscape art, human figures, etc.)
Strong relief and layered visual effect
High customization (drawing -> tooling -> production)
Can be combined with multiple processes (electroplating / antique finish / transfer printing)
Suitable for large decorative areas and high-end projects
Premium visual output for branded spaces
Continuous splicing patterns are achievable with high-precision process control
Photochemical etching can achieve around 1 mm-level fine lines, which is a key advantage in premium projects.

For large-area etching, 304 is recommended to reduce impurity/watermark risks.
Applications
Elevator cabin panels, feature walls, display cabinets, cabinetry, ceilings, commercial-space decoration, storefront headers, and decorative trims.
Elevator panels are one of the most representative applications of etched sheets.
Manufacturing Process
1. Basic etching route
Pattern design & tooling -> Protective resist coating -> Natural drying -> Chemical etching (time controls depth) -> De-masking & cleaning -> Surface finishing
2. Typical combined routes
Electroplated etching: slitting -> hairline/8K -> sandblasting -> etching -> electroplating -> oil protection -> protective film
Copper-plated etching: slitting -> etching -> sanding -> copper plating -> blackening -> hairline -> oil protection
Antique etched finish: etching -> copper plating -> oxidation -> manual texture -> polishing -> spray coloring -> sealing oil
Transfer-printed etching: etching -> transfer print (wood/stone pattern) -> drying -> protective film
Surface Color and Treatment
Etching itself is a texture process; color normally comes from post-treatment.
1. Common combined colors: Titanium Gold / Champagne Gold / Rose Gold; Black Titanium / Grey Steel; Antique Bronze / Bronze / Red Copper; Vintage distressed palettes; multi-color paint-filled etching
2. Achievable effects:
Colored etching (overall color), de-titanium etching (etched areas colorless or different tone), multi-color filled etching (pattern color filling)
Color outcome is related to process order (etch first vs color first gives different results).
FAQ
How fine can etched patterns be?
Photochemical etching can achieve around 1 mm-level details and is suitable for high-precision graphics.
What is the difference between photochemical and silk-screen etching?
Photochemical etching provides higher precision for complex/small-batch graphics; silk-screen etching is lower in cost for large-batch production but with slightly lower precision.
Why can etched sheets have poor color adhesion?
Incomplete post-etch cleaning can leave chemical residue and negatively affect subsequent plating/coating.
Why is 304 recommended for large-area etching?
Compared with some 201 materials, 304 generally has lower impurity-related risk for issues such as watermarks and black dots after etching.
Can etched sheets be spliced?
Yes, but high-precision splicing should use photochemical etching to reduce alignment deviation.
How should etching depth be selected?
Decoration-oriented: 3-5c; tactile effect: 8c+; clear relief effect: 10-15c.
What is the production lead time?
Standard route is around 7-10 days; complex routes (antique/multi-color) are usually around 10-15 days.

The same color appears different on different textures.
FAQ
What is the difference between embossed and etched sheets?
Embossing is physical pressure forming with stronger 3D depth; etching is chemical corrosion and is better for fine graphic detail.
Why do some water-ripple embossed sheets shrink or deform?
Material deformation under forming stress can cause dimensional shrinkage. Typical shrinkage depends on pattern size and process control.
Can embossed sheets be bent?
Yes, but process sequencing is important. Trial validation is recommended for complex bends.
Can embossed sheets be laminated with honeycomb core?
Yes, but uneven surfaces increase adhesive demand and cost.
Can 201 be used for all textures?
Not always. Some fine/complex textures are better achieved with 304.
What is the difference between rolling and stamping?
Stamping processes single sheets with stronger depth expression; rolling is continuous coil processing for larger-volume production.
What is the production lead time?
Standard routes are often around 10-15 days, and longer for custom or combined processes.
