Choosing the Right Metal Plate Thickness for Stamping Slip-Resisting Checkered Tread Plate:
Stamping chequer process: After two CNC punching, stamping, but not perforated through. To form raised or embossed patterns and designs on one surface of the metal plate, but on holes going through the stamped sheets.
Thus the stamped checkered tread plate needs metal sheet material with proper thickness. If the plate is too thin, it will get punched through easily and leave opening on the sheet. If the metal plate is too thick, it is hard to get chequers on the surface.
The common metal sheet thickness for checkered tread plate: between 1.2-1.8mm.
Tread plates can be checkered plate, perforated metal or expanded metal sheets. Diamond (checkered) plate is one kind of anti-slippery tread plates characterized by beautiful appearance, good strength, light weight, metal material saving and many other advantages.
