What Is 304 Stainless Steel Pattern Plate?
304 stainless steel pattern plate, also known as 304 SS tread/diamond/embossed plate, is a kind of steel plate having a raised textured pattern. These raised designs not only enhance its decorative appeal but also serve functional purposes. Additionally, it can help mask scratches or dents that may occur over time, maintaining the appearance of the plate. Therefore, it is highly suitable for applications where traction is required, such as flooring, stairs, ramps, slopes, industrial uses, and so on.
304 Stainless Steel
Type 304 (18Cr-8Ni Austenitic Stainless Steel) is one of the most versatile and widely used stainless steel grades in the world. The main components of 304 stainless steel are nickel and chromium, allowing it to have the characteristics of excellent anti-corrosion properties, high toughness, and good processing performance. So it can satisfy many ordinary application needs.

Manufacturing Process
Generally speaking, the stainless steel pattern plate, is manufactured on the stainless steel plate by mechanical equipment. According to its final shape, there are two different manufacturing processes. Let’s have a look.
Firstly, it is rolled by the rolling mill when producing stainless steel. Usually, this kind of stainless pattern plate is flat on one side but patterned on the other.
Secondly, the product can be mechanically stamped by hot/cold rolled stainless steel. Comparatively, it is available in more different pattern types, sizes, and usage. And the surface of these products has concave and convex patterns.
What Are the Advantages of 304 SS Pattern Plate?
This product has the following good points you can enjoy:
1. Unique Design
Compared with ordinary style, the surface of this plate adopts special processing technology to form various beautiful patterns, which not only improves the grip and slip resistance but also increases the decorative effect.
2. Excellent Anti-skid Performance
It’s clear to see that the raised pattern on the surface of the plate can provide all-around traction and anti-slip effects, making it widely used in occasions requiring good adhesion and anti-slip such as floors, steps, decks, and so on.
3. Excellent Corrosion Resistance
304 stainless steel product has excellent corrosion resistance. It is so much better than carbon steel and galvanized steel. Moreover, it can resist oxidation and rust under normal atmospheric conditions. So 304 stainless steel pattern plates are ideal for wet, high humidity, and chemically corrosive environments.
4. Good Weldability & Formability
It has high strength, good hardness, and satisfactory compressive strength, which can withstand certain impacts and loads. Also, it can be processed and formed by common metal processing techniques such as cutting, bending, and welding.
5. Easy to Clean & Maintenance-free
At the same time, due to its lightweight and easy handling characteristics, installation, and maintenance are also relatively simple.
