Activity Description
The production process of heavy plate includes stages such as billet preheating, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling, and leveling, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions associated with the production process.
Process Description
Medium and heavy plates are commonly used steel products, characterized by high strength, good toughness, and excellent weldability. They come in various types, including carbon steel plates, low-alloy steel plates, and stainless steel plates. These plates are typically manufactured through hot rolling, a process that ensures uniform thickness and a smooth surface. Medium and heavy plates can also undergo heat treatment and surface treatment according to different application requirements, enhancing their corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Medium carbon steel plates are made from steel with a moderate carbon content and typically have a thickness ranging from 4 mm to 60 mm. This type of steel plate is widely used in various industrial fields due to its excellent mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness. They are primarily used in the manufacturing of buildings, bridges, ships, vehicles, and heavy machinery.

Technology comment
The hot rolling process of heavy plate is a key procedure to transform the pre-processed steel billet into heavy plate. The raw steel billet is first heated in a reheating furnace to an appropriate rolling temperature, then fed into a roughing mill for initial rolling, where the billet is compressed into a thicker intermediate billet. After roughing, the slab enters a finishing mill stand for further rolling to achieve more precise thickness and width.
