The main difference is in how it is formed into a final product. Cast stainless steel is made by pouring liquid metal into a molding container with a specific shape. Wrought stainless steel starts out at a steel mill, where continuous casters make stainless into ingots, blooms, billets, or slabs.

The most common coloring method that immediately comes to mind is painting. Stainless steel can be colored by painting it. If you add a little bit of color to a thin transparent paint called clear paint, you can create colored stainless steel that makes use of the stainless steel substrate.

Can You Paint Stainless Steel? Yes. Like all painting jobs the key is preparation and choosing the best paint system. Epoxy, or two part paint systems, provide the best protection.

The metal injection molding (MIM) process achieves high densities, enhancing the strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance of stainless steels.
