Surface Finishing
voestalpine Precision Strip WI in Pleasant Priarie supplies precision strip steel with a wide variety of surface finishes. Our capabilities allow the end user to select from both a range of well-defined surface topographies (Ra) as well as from a range of "visually" different surfaces.
Surface Ra values are defined almost exclusively through the application of different cold rolling "recipes" as the strip is brought down from the hot-rolled condition to its final cold-rolled thickness. Both the annealing and the reduction steps themselves play key roles.

| Standard surface finish Ra values | |
| Extra bright rolled | Ra < 5µin |
| Fine bright rolled | Ra < 10µin |
| Standard bright rolled | Ra < 10µin |
| Bright rolled | Ra 20 - 40µin |
Standard Surface Finishes
- Scaleless blue - a more or less uniform grey-blue color generated during the tempering process in a non-inert atmosphere
- Bright hardened - a more or less uniform bright surface generated during the tempering process in an inert-gas atmosphere
- Bright polished - a bright hardened surface subject to subsequent polishing for a more uniform, brighter surface appearance
- Blue polished - a bright polished surface subjected to subsequent thermal processing for a uniform blue finish.
- Gold polished - a bright polished surface subjected to subsequent thermal processing for a uniform gold finish.
