Stainless glass bead blasting

[Thrashsmith]

Hello, does anyone have any images of the finish of stainless steel that's been glass bead blasted?
The stainless bar I'd be using would be hot forged. Would glass bead blasting be enough on its own to clean that up & return the material back to its stainless characteristics? Or would a secondary process need to happen afterwards?
Thanks

What flavor of SS ?
Was the part quenched after forging ?

It'll be 304 I imagine. Not going near the sea, but in a damp environment. No it won't be quenched, but will be forged on anvils etc that normally have mild steel on them.

You'd need to blast the scale off. Then bead blast, then passivate.

It may always rust if forged on a steel anvil with a steel hammer due to embedded iron particles. Passivating should help correct this but obviously they could have been peened into the surface.

looks like 304 needs a quench (from ? temp.) to retain it's corrosion resistance.
