Stainless Steel Imitation
Copper Antique Sheet

Stainless steel imitation copper antique sheet is through equipment electrolytic plating, natural copper base color, make a variety of similar copper colors, and then hairline and anti-fingerprint process so that the stainless steel surface achieves real copper and antique (imitation old) effect. In addition, the plate surface can be etched with a variety of patterns. The cost is cheaper than copper, and the decorative effect is not worse than copper. Copper is low hardness, high expenditure, and easy oxidation of chemical properties. In contrast, the characteristics of stainless steel antique copper are high hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, waterproof rust is much better than copper, and longer service life.
The stainless steel imitation copper plate has a copper surface effect. Strong metal texture, easy to clean, anti-oxidation ability, not easy to corrosion, long service life. JYF Metal can treat the sheet surface with various rust effects, colorful, mottled texture, a sense of hidden layers, and a sense of vintage. Inspire designers to reinvent classical design.
Antique copper sheets fully meet the designer in the National Museum, Culture Museum, Museum, Art Museum, hotel decoration, high-end custom-made background wall, and other personalized design requirements.

Color Selection of Stainless Steel
Imitation Copper Antique Sheet

Stainless steel imitation copper antique sheet, its material is mainly SS201, SS304, or SS316. This decorative plate through surface treatment so that the surface of the stainless steel and copper plate looks similar. This kind of antique sheet can be made of various etching and stamping processes. The old texture will bring more choices for decoration because the main color is to imitate the primary color of copper, such as bronze wire, red copper wire, and red copper wire. And do old board pattern board is no rules, there is no the same pattern and color, bring decorative space is full of retro and creative sense.

various materials of Stainless Steel
Imitation Copper Antique Sheet

In modern cities, retro styles are sprouting again. Stainless steel stainless steel imitation copper sheet are a good example. Stainless steel imitation copper panel are infused with the beauty of aging through special oxidation coloring and surface treatment processes. This process combines chemical etching and manual polishing to accurately replicate the antique texture of bronze ware and the gradient effect of copper green rust on the metal surface, while ensuring long-lasting texture through protective treatment. As a material art that connects ancient and modern times, antique stainless steel plates can not only present a sense of cultural relics’ vicissitudes, but also create an industrial retro style, allowing 304/316 stainless steel to perfectly interpret the dialogue between tradition and modernity in museum exhibitions, commercial spaces, and building facades, achieving a metal aesthetics that transcends time.

304 stainless steel

As a classic substrate for antique craftsmanship, 304 stainless steel can present a highly historical copper rust effect through professional aging treatment. Its composition ratio of 18% chromium and 8% nickel ensures excellent substrate stability even after oxidation coloring, making it particularly suitable for artistic decoration fields such as indoor cultural walls and vintage furniture. The gradual rust pattern formed on the surface of 304 by the aging process can restore the texture of bronze ware and maintain color durability for 5-8 years through nano sealing technology. It is an economic choice that balances artistic expression and practicality.

316 stainless steel

With the strengthening effect of 2-3% molybdenum element, 316 stainless steel used plates have set a durability benchmark in the antique field. Its excellent resistance to chloride ion corrosion enables the aging effect to be maintained for a long time under harsh conditions such as coastal climate and high humidity environment, especially suitable for outdoor sculptures, building facades and other exposed places. Professional craftsmen use multi-layer oxidation technology to create realistic copper green on 316 substrate, comparable to unearthed cultural relics. Combined with fluorocarbon protective layer, it can achieve artistic fidelity for more than 10 years, making it the preferred material for high-end antique projects.

Application of Stainless Steel
Imitation Copper Antique Sheet

Antique stainless steel imitation copper plate has the metal texture of actual copper plate is high-end and generous, has a simple and elegant breath, has a calm atmosphere, a thick appearance feeling, and has the stainless steel intrinsic essence.
Antique copper stainless steel plate overall style is convergence, retro-strong, has a long service life, and has excellent cost-effectiveness. There will be no oxidation to form green or other problems. In many construction projects, because of the budget, the cost needs to be reduced, and the decorative effect needs to be guaranteed, then the imitation copper plate is the best choice. Imitation copper antique sheets can be used in image walls, decorative door frames, hotel lobby area decorations, etc. Projects in museums and art galleries. Imitation copper aged board is the best inspiration for the designer of the executor.

Process of Stainless Steel
Imitation Copper Antique Sheet

Surface Treatment

Firstly, the surface of the stainless steel plate needs to be treated to increase its adhesion. Chemical treatment agents or mechanical methods such as polishing, sandblasting, etc. can be used to wipe the surface clean and remove any dirt or oxide layer.

Primer

Next, apply a layer of primer. Primer can provide adhesion and good surface smoothness, ensuring that the imitation copper layer can firmly adhere to the stainless steel plate. Commonly used primers include polyester or epoxy resin coatings.

Imitation Copper Coating

After the primer has dried, apply a copper like layer. Imitation copper layer is a special coating that can simulate the appearance and texture of copper. This coating is usually made of resin containing copper powder or pigments. You can choose different copper like coatings to achieve the desired color tone and effect.

Glazing

After the imitation copper layer is dried, it can be polished to increase its luster. Transparent varnish or cleaning agent can be used for polishing to make the imitation copper layer look brighter.

Protective Treatment

Finally, in order to protect the imitation copper layer, a transparent protective coating can be used for treatment. This can prevent oxidation, fading, or other damage to the imitation copper layer, and extend its service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

A1:The process for making stainless steel antique copper plates generally includes selecting the material, surface treatment, and spraying with antique copper-colored paint to mimic the texture and color of ancient copper.

A2:Compared to real copper plates, stainless steel antique copper plates have higher corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and abrasion resistance, and are more cost-effective. However, they slightly lack the authentic texture and color of real copper.
