  • The first step: Stainless steel cutting 

The most commonly used raw materials for tableware are 13/0 (410), 18/0 (430), and 18/8 (304). The factory needs to cut the raw material by first process, aim to  cut the size unique to tableware, such as a spoon, knife and fork.

  • The second step: Rolling

The head and handle of the cutlery are not the same thickness. Generally, the thickness of the head is 0.8-2.0MM, and the thickness of the head is smaller than the thickness of the handle. So a second process is rolling. There are two types that’s horizontal stretching and vertical stretching. Horizontal extension is generally applicable to all products; vertical extension is generally used for the production of table knives.

  • The third step: Trimming

The shape of the tableware has not yet formed after the second step of rolling. The third step is needed with using a mold to make the shape of a knife, spoon, and fork.

  • The fourth step: Handle-embossing

After trimming, you can now separate the knife, spoon, and fork. But the handle has no pattern shape. So at this time, the fourth step takes to make with flower patterns.

  • The fifth step: Edge-polishing

After the above is a few hardware making, the tableware is almost formed, but there is still a polishing with the fifth step . It's actually polishing the whole edge cutlery.

  • The sixth step: Double polishing

After all the above processes, basically the production has been completed, but the tableware has no brightness, so we perform the sixth step of double polishing. Spoons and forks generally need 14-16 polishing machines to complete. Generally, 4-6 polishing machines are used to complete the knife polishing. All polishing wheels are flat, so it is called flat polishing. In the front, many processes of hardware production need to cooperate with flat polishing.
