316L stainless steel checker plates, also known as tread plates or diamond plates, are highly prized for their remarkable durability and anti-slip properties. The primary advantage of 316L stainless steel over other types, such as 316 stainless steel, lies in its lower carbon content. This reduced carbon percentage significantly enhances its resistance to corrosion, especially intergranular corrosion, which is crucial for welding applications. This makes 316L stainless steel checker plates particularly suitable for use in harsh environments like marine settings, wet areas, and chemical processing equipment.

At HE-TIEN, we recognize the importance of providing high-quality, versatile materials to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our 316L stainless steel checker plates come in a range of commonly stocked sizes, including 4ft x 8ft (1219mm x 2438mm), 4ft x 10ft (1219mm x 3048mm), 5ft x 8ft (1524mm x 2438mm), and 5ft x 10ft (1524mm x 3048mm). Understanding that every project has unique requirements, we offer customization services allowing customers to specify their desired lengths. Additionally, we provide edge trimming and material inkjet printing services to enhance both the functionality and appearance of the plates.

The robust characteristics of 316L stainless steel make our checker plates an ideal choice for industrial flooring, machinery, and heavy-duty vehicles where higher strength and improved wear resistance are necessary. Unlike hot rolled mild steel versions, these plates maintain their appearance and structural integrity even under challenging conditions, offering superior performance and extended service life.

HE-TIEN's commitment to quality extends from sourcing to delivery. We procure our stainless steel directly from reputable steel mills, ensuring that we use only the highest quality raw materials. Our advanced in-house processing equipment allows us to efficiently cut, trim, and finish the plates, reducing production costs and allowing us to offer competitive prices. This end-to-end management of the production process ensures that every checker plate we deliver meets the highest standards of performance and durability.

Furthermore, the lower carbon content in 316L stainless steel ensures excellent performance in high-temperature environments without the risk of performance degradation from carbide precipitation. This makes our plates particularly valuable in welding applications, where maintaining both structural integrity and corrosion resistance is vital.

Whether used in the construction industry for structural reinforcement, in manufacturing facilities as durable floor plates, or in chemical plants where resistance to corrosive substances is paramount, our 316L stainless steel checker plates provide a reliable and effective solution. The added benefits of custom sizing, edge trimming, and inkjet printing make HE-TIEN’s checker plates a top choice for professionals seeking quality and versatility.

Choosing HE-TIEN means selecting a partner dedicated to exceeding your expectations in quality, performance, and customer service. Our 316L stainless steel checker plates are designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industrial applications, ensuring reliable and long-lasting performance.

Stainless Steel 316L Features and Applications

Stainless steel checker plate grades 316 and 316L are similar in terms of their chemical composition, both containing 17 - 18% chromium, 10 - 14% nickel, and 2 - 3% molybdenum. These elements contribute to their excellent corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

The difference lies in the lower carbon content of 316L stainless steel compared to 316 stainless steel. The carbon content in 316L stainless steel is typically below 0.03%, while in 316 stainless steel, it is usually around 0.08%. Due to its lower carbon content, 316L stainless steel generally exhibits better corrosion resistance than 316 stainless steel, making it particularly suitable for applications in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Therefore, 316L stainless steel is commonly used in the manufacturing of demanding applications such as medical devices, marine equipment, and food processing equipment.

It's important to note that although 316L stainless steel checker plate offers improved corrosion resistance, its lower carbon content may result in lower strength and wear resistance. In specific applications, it's necessary.

Stainless Steel 200 / 300 / 400 Series Characteristics

Stainless steel checker plate is typically composed of iron, carbon, chromium, nickel, cobalt, and other alloying elements. Stainless steel can be divided into three series: 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series, which differ in the type and proportion of alloying elements.

200 Series: Primarily containing nickel and manganese but no chromium, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good ductility and formability, making them easy to process and shape. Products made from 200 series stainless steel include kitchen utensils, furniture, pipes, and building structures.

300 Series: Primarily containing chromium and nickel but no molybdenum, they have excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as chemical, petroleum, and food processing. The most common of these is 304 stainless steel, which has a wide range of applications including kitchen utensils, food processing equipment, medical devices, building exterior decoration, and more.

400 Series: Primarily containing chromium and molybdenum but no nickel, they have poorer corrosion resistance but good heat and wear resistance, making them particularly suitable for use in industries such as mechanical and automotive manufacturing. The most common of these is 430 stainless steel, which is used to make components such as cutting tools, screws, bearings, and automotive parts, as well as building and decorative materials.

Stainless Steel Surface Finish

NO.1 Surface: Hot-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a rough texture, suitable for industrial applications that require heat and corrosion resistance.

2B Surface: Cold-rolled, annealed, and pickled surface with a matte finish, processed to make the surface smooth, and easily polished for a brighter appearance.

BA Surface (Bright Annealed): Cold-rolled, annealed, and bright annealed surface with excellent glossiness and high reflectivity.

NO.4 Surface: Also known as a brushed finish, this surface is achieved by using a 150-180 grit abrasive, resulting in a continuous and unidirectional pattern of fine lines.

HL Surface (Hair Line): Hairline finish, achieved by using an appropriate grit size of abrasive to create continuous linear patterns that resemble hairlines.

NO.8 Surface (Mirror): Mirror-like finish achieved by cold-rolling and then polishing to a high shine.

Checkered Plate: Stainless steel plate with a balanced three-dimensional pattern used for anti-slip purposes.
