304 PVD Matte Black Stainless Steel Sheet 0.8–2.0mm For Architectural Projects

Grade: 304 / UNS S30400
Standard: ASTM A240 / ASME SA240
Thickness: 0.8–2.0 mm
Standard Size: 1219 × 2438 mm
Surface: Matte Black PVD
Manufacturing: Cold Rolled

304 PVD Matte Black Stainless Steel Sheet is made from 304 / UNS S30400 stainless steel with a matte black PVD coating. The low-gloss black surface provides a modern architectural appearance while retaining the corrosion resistance and formability of the stainless steel substrate.

Available in 0.8–2.0 mm thickness, it is suitable for elevator interiors, wall panels, ceilings, columns, doors, hotels, retail spaces, and commercial interior projects.

Custom sizes, surface finishes, protective film, cut-to-size processing, and inspection documents can be supplied according to project requirements.

The 304 stainless steel substrate is manufactured according to the applicable material specification.

Typical mechanical requirements for 304 stainless steel sheet under ASTM A240 include:

The matte black finish is produced using a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process. The coating is deposited onto the stainless steel surface in a controlled vacuum environment.

Compared with a mirror black finish, matte black has a lower-gloss appearance and reduced surface reflection. It is suitable for architectural projects requiring a dark, understated, and modern appearance.

The final appearance can be affected by the substrate finish, coating parameters, lighting, viewing angle, and production batch.

Step 1: Stainless Steel Sheet Preparation

304 stainless steel sheets are selected according to the required grade, thickness, size, and substrate finish.

Step 2: Surface Cleaning

The stainless steel surface is cleaned and prepared to remove contaminants before the PVD process.

Step 3: PVD Coating

The prepared sheets are placed into a vacuum coating chamber where the PVD coating is deposited onto the stainless steel surface.

Step 4: Matte Black Finish Control

Coating parameters are controlled to achieve the required matte black appearance and surface consistency.

Step 5: Protective Film

PVC or PE protective film can be applied to reduce scratching and contamination during handling and transportation.

Step 6: Final Inspection

Finished sheets are inspected for dimensions, surface appearance, coating uniformity, and other agreed requirements.

Matte Black Appearance

The low-gloss black surface provides a modern finish for architectural interiors and decorative panels.

304 Stainless Steel Substrate

The 304 stainless steel base provides good corrosion resistance, formability, and general mechanical performance.

PVD Coating

The PVD process provides a controlled decorative coating suitable for architectural applications.

0.8–2.0 mm Thickness

The available thickness range covers many wall panel, elevator, ceiling, door, and interior decoration applications.
