ASTM A240 AISI304 AISI316L Stainless teel Chequered Plate Thickness 0.6 - 8.0mm

Stainless steel chequered plates, also known as stainless steel chequer plates or stainless steel checker plates, are lightweight metal plates with good anti-slipping and decorative features. One side of a stainless steel chequered plate is raised regular diamonds or lines, while the other side is plane. The raised design reduces the risk of slipping, thus making stainless steel chequered plates ideal for stairs, walkways and ramps. The features of corrosion resistance and weather resistance with aesthetic surface treatment make it suitable for architectural outdoor uses.

GRADE of our stainless steel chequered plate

304 and 304L are the most commonly used grades for stainless steel checkered plates as they are less expensive, highly versatile, easily roll-formed or shaped and offer excellent corrosion resistance and weldability, while also maintaining their durability. For coastal and marine environments, grades 316 and 316L are often favoured due to their superior corrosion resistance and are particularly effective in acidic environments.

Other stainless steel checker plate grades are available upon request. You can request to cut your stainless steel checker plates down to size.

APPLICATIONS of stainless steel chequered plate

Uses of stainless steel chequered plate include decorative, food processing, architectural applications, residential and commercial buildings, engineering, industrial and shipbuilding.

How Is SS Checker Plate Made?

There are two different production processes. A kind of stainless steel checker plate is rolled by the rolling mill when producing stainless steel. The thickness is about 3-6mm, and it is annealed and pickled after hot rolling. The process is as follows:
Stainless steel billet → Hot rolling → Hot annealing and pickling line → Leveling machine, tension leveller, polishing line → Cross-cutting line → Hot-rolled stainless steel checkered plate.

This kind of checker plate is flat on one side and patterned on the other. It is more commonly used in the chemical industry, railway vehicles, platforms and other applications where strength is required.

The other kind of stainless steel diamond plate is made of hot-rolled or cold-rolled stainless steel by mechanical stamping. These products are concave on one side and convex on the other side. They are often used for decoration purposes.
