Special surface condition requirements must be specified in the contract documents. Material purchased to meet the requirements of ASTM A6/A6M is usually subject to acceptance or rejection based upon visual inspection both at the rolling mill and at the time of receipt by the fabricator, although more extensive inspection methods may be used.

Ground (Polished) Finish Steel Panels (Type S) are the same steel as Type R, with a thickness of 0.032 in (0.81 mm), but one side is polished by grinding it with an abrasive until the mill surface is completely removed. This imparts a smooth surface that looks similar to a "brushed" finish.

The electropolishing process may improve a surface finish by up to 50%. The electropolishing reaction removes material while it improves surface roughness. Because of the material removal, process runtimes are often limited to maintain dimensional tolerances. Limited runtimes result in real world surface roughness improvements from 10 to 35%.
