A high-strength thin-gauge checkered steel plate/strip and a manufacturing method therefor, wherein residual elements such as Sn and Cu in steel scrap are fully utilized as alloy elements in the smelting of molten steel, and the steel has selectively added micro-alloy elements such as B; during the smelting process, the alkalinity of the slag, the types of inclusion in the steel and the melting point thereof, the content of free oxygen and the content of soluble aluminum (Als) in the molten steel are controlled; and twin-roll thin-strip continuous casting is performed to cast a cast strip (11); after exiting crystallization rollers (8a, 8b), the cast strip (11) directly enters a lower sealed chamber (10) containing a non-oxidizing atmosphere, and enters an online rolling machine (13) in a sealed manner so as to undergo hot rolling, then after rolling, the strip steel is cooled by means of air atomization. The resultant steel roll can be used directly as hot-rolled checkered plate/strip, or as a finished checkered plate/strip after being cut and finished, and is widely applicable to the fields of architecture, mechanical production, automobile, bridges, transportation, ship building, etc.
