Description
ASTM A786 Plate
ASTM A786 is a standard specification developed by ASTM International for hot-rolled carbon, low-alloy, and high-strength low-alloy steel floor plates. It is primarily used in applications where slip resistance and durability are important, such as in industrial floors, platforms, stair treads, and truck beds.
Key Characteristics:
- Produced by hot-rolling
- Defined by a raised pattern (checkered/tread) to improve traction
- Used for both structural and decorative purposes
- Suitable for welding and forming
ASTM A786 Equivalent
- ASTM A36
- ASTM A1011
- ASTM A572
- ASTM A588
- ASTM A606
- ASTM A715
ASTM A786 Products
| Product Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Steel Floor Plate (Tread Plate) | Hot-rolled plate with raised pattern (checkered or diamond), commonly used for flooring and platforms. |
| Checker Plate | Synonym for tread plate; includes 1-bar, 2-bar, and 5-bar patterns for anti-slip purposes. |
| Diamond Plate | Features a raised diamond pattern; ideal for aesthetic and functional uses such as stairs and ramps. |
| Anti-Skid Floor Plate | Specifically designed with enhanced traction for walkways, industrial floors, and truck beds. |
| Formed Structural Parts | Cut and bent A786 plates for use in industrial and automotive frameworks. |
| Cut-to-Size Sheets | Pre-cut A786 patterned plates for smaller-scale or custom projects. |
| Machinery Platforms | Pre-fabricated floor panels with tread pattern, used for maintenance areas and walkways. |
| Ramp Plates | Load-bearing plates with pattern surface, ideal for loading docks, vehicular ramps, etc. |
