The first step is understanding where and how the checkered plate will be used. Common applications include:
Anti-slip flooring (industrial platforms, walkways, stairs)
Decorative surfaces (elevators, wall panels, interior design)
Vehicle and ship flooring
Food processing or chemical areas (where corrosion resistance is critical)
Knowing the application helps define the required:
Strength
Surface texture
Corrosion resistance
Different stainless steel grades offer different properties:
Grade | Characteristics | Best For |
---|---|---|
304 | Good corrosion resistance, easy to fabricate | Indoor flooring, decorative use |
316 | Excellent corrosion resistance, especially in salt/chloride environments | Marine, food & chemical industries |
430 | Ferritic, magnetic, moderate corrosion resistance | Cost-sensitive indoor use |
310S / 321 | High temperature resistance | Industrial heat-resistant applications |
