A 304 hot rolled stainless steel checkered plate is a type of metal sheet that features a regular pattern of raised lines or diamonds on its surface. Manufactured using hot rolling processes, this plate offers enhanced durability, excellent corrosion resistance, and a strong anti-slip surface—making it ideal for high-traffic or wet environments.
Made from 304 stainless steel (containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel), this checkered plate offers excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and salt spray corrosion. The recessed pattern design minimizes water and dirt accumulation, reducing the risk of localized corrosion. It is ideal for use in chemical plants, marine environments, and humid workshops.
The surface of the 304 stainless steel diamond plate is formed through hot rolling, creating a uniform raised pattern (such as lentil, diamond, or circular). This significantly increases the coefficient of friction, effectively preventing slips even in wet or oily conditions. It is widely used for stair treads, industrial platforms, and ship decks where slip resistance is critical.
The hot rolled 304 checkered plate is formed in a single rolling process, eliminating the need for secondary machining or engraving to create the anti-slip surface. Compared with cold-rolled patterned plates or post-processing methods, it offers lower production costs and higher efficiency, making it ideal for large-scale industrial applications.
The stainless steel 304 tread plate can be easily cut, welded, and bent, maintaining excellent compatibility with standard 304 stainless steel processing methods. This makes installation and retrofitting simple. For example, the plate can be cut on-site to fit specific dimensions or welded into stair structures and platform assemblies.

A: This plate is primarily used in anti-slip flooring applications, including stair treads, platforms, walkways, ramps, ship decks, and factory workshops where slip resistance and durability are required.
A: Hot rolled checkered plates are produced at high temperatures, giving them a rougher surface and better strength for heavy-duty use. Cold rolled plates offer a smoother surface but are typically thinner and more expensive due to additional processing.
A: Common thicknesses range from 3.0 mm to 8.0 mm, with standard widths of 1000 mm, 1220 mm, 1500 mm and lengths up to 6000 mm. Custom sizes are also available upon request.
A: Yes, made from AISI 304 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance against moisture, salt spray, acids, and alkalis—suitable for chemical plants, marine areas, and humid environments.
