Introduction
Overview
Stainless steel anti-slip floor panels play a significant role in various industries as a crucial building material. With their unique raised patterns, these panels provide excellent anti-slip performance and are widely used in different settings to ensure people’s safety.
Purpose
The primary purpose of these floor panels is to offer anti-slip functionality, especially in wet or slippery environments. Their special patterned design effectively increases ground friction, reducing the risk of slipping and falling during walking.
Alternate Names
Another common name for these floor panels is stainless steel anti-slip plates, often referred to as stainless steel diamond plates due to the diamond-like shape of the raised patterns on their surface.
Characteristics of Stainless Steel Floor Panels
Stainless steel floor panels possess the following characteristics:
- Raised Pattern Design: The surface is designed with lentil, diamond, or T-shaped raised patterns, providing excellent anti-slip performance.
- Easy Installation: They have good processability, making them easy to cut and shape into various sizes and forms, meeting different site requirements.
- Corrosion Resistance: Made from standard materials like AISI 304 and ASTM A793, these panels offer outstanding corrosion resistance, suitable for various harsh environments.
- Wide Application: They can be used in trailers and truck bed floors, pedals, ramps, walkways, platforms, stair treads, and more.
Specifications and Performance
Specifications
- Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.8mm to 8mm, customizable as per specific needs.
- Width: Generally between 200mm and 1600mm, chosen based on different application areas.
- Length: Usually between 500mm and 9000mm, also customizable according to client requirements.
Performance
- Weldability: Suitable for various welding processes, easy to connect with other materials.
- Cutting: Easy to cut into various sizes and shapes, catering to different installation needs.
- Forming and Processing: Good forming and processing properties, can be custom-processed according to design requirements.
Material and Standards
Stainless steel floor panels are made from stainless steel grades specified in the national standard “GB/T 3280-2015 Stainless Steel Plate.” Primarily, AISI 304 and AISI 316 materials are used. AISI 304, an 18-8 type stainless steel, offers excellent corrosion resistance and processability, suitable for general use environments. AISI 316, an austenitic stainless steel containing higher proportions of nickel and molybdenum, provides superior corrosion resistance, especially suitable for marine, petroleum, chemical, and highly corrosive environments.
Application Fields
AISI 304 Stainless Steel Anti-Slip Plates
304 stainless steel anti-slip plates are widely used in various industrial and commercial fields. Commonly found in factories, warehouses, shopping malls, and hospitals where anti-slip flooring is needed. In these settings, 304 stainless steel anti-slip plates can serve as floor coverings for corridors, walkways, stair treads, and more, ensuring the safety of employees and customers. Their corrosion resistance and excellent processing properties make them a popular choice, and their aesthetic appearance also makes them suitable for architectural decoration.
AISI 316 Stainless Steel Anti-Slip Plates
316 stainless steel anti-slip plates are extensively used in environments requiring higher corrosion resistance. Particularly suitable for marine engineering, chemical plants, and petroleum processing facilities where conditions are harsh and corrosive. 316 stainless steel anti-slip plates can withstand long-term exposure to seawater, acids, and alkalis, maintaining ground stability and safety. Due to their superior corrosion resistance, they are considered high-performance flooring materials, especially suitable for environments with high material performance requirements.
Other Considerations
- It is important to note that some panels may have been compressed, causing curling. Therefore, flattening treatment is necessary before actual use to ensure the flatness of the panels, making on-site installation more convenient and efficient for customers.
