2K Gloss polished 1) Additional specific requirements to a "J" type finish, in order to achieve adequate corrosion resistance in marine environments and for external architectural applications. They are finishes with a transverse roughness of Ra<0.5µm and with a clean surface appearance. 4

1) Within the description of each finish, the properties may vary and further details may be necessary to correctly specify the desired finish (for example, the abrasive grain or surface roughness).

Tinned or nickel plated strips can be supplied under a commercial agreement.

 

AVERAGE SURFACE ROUGHNESS EN 10151:2002

The quality of the surface of a strip is characterised by the following approximate average surface roughness values:
  • Ra < 0.3 µm for tensile strength levels of +C1150 and above.
  • Ra < 0.5 µm for tensile strength levels ranging from +C700 to +C1000.

Measurements in mm.

1) Other, closer dimensional tolerances are possible under a commercial agreement.
2) Including the value t=1
3) Including the value t=1,5
4) Including the value t=2,5
5) Subject to an agreement, the tolerance can be equal in ± or all -. In both cases, the total tolerance range must be as shown in the table.
