Material SUS-304 (Nickerl 8 HR (Hot Roll) ASTM-A240M-304 Checkered Plate or Chequered Plate
Grade 304 Chequered is the standard "18/8" stainless; it is the most versatile and most widely used Chequered, available in a wider range of products, forms and finishes than any other. Stainless Steel 304 Chequered Plates has excellent forming and welding characteristics. The balanced austenitic structure of Grade 304 enables it to be severely deep drawn without intermediate annealing, which has made this grade dominant in the manufacture of drawn stainless parts such as sinks, hollow-ware and saucepans. For these applications it is common to use special "304DDQ" (Deep Drawing Quality) variants. Grade 304 Chequered Plate is readily brake or roll formed into a variety of components for applications in the industrial, architectural, and transportation fields. Grade 304 also has outstanding welding characteristics. Post-weld annealing is not required when welding thin sections.
