Activity Description
The production process of heavy plates includes billet preheating, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling, and leveling, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions required during the production process.
Process Description
Heavy plates, also known as heavy-duty steel plates, are large-size steel products widely used in industry. These plates typically have a thickness exceeding 20 mm and widths reaching several meters, making them suitable for manufacturing large structures and heavy machinery. Due to their dimensions and thickness, heavy plates offer excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, making them ideal materials for large-scale engineering projects and high-load applications. The 430 stainless steel heavy plate is a ferritic stainless steel product containing a relatively high proportion of chromium (approximately 16%–18%), which provides good corrosion resistance. The main features of 430 stainless steel are its excellent oxidation resistance and good heat resistance. This type of sheet is widely used in house decoration, kitchen utensils, household appliance housings, automotive parts, and some less demanding industrial applications.

Technology comment
The wide and heavy plate hot rolling process is a high-temperature processing method that transforms large-sized steel billets into wide and heavy plates. The raw steel billet is heated in a reheating furnace to an appropriate rolling temperature, then enters the roughing mill for initial rolling, during which the billet is pressed into a thicker semifinished product. After roughing, the billet enters the finishing mill stand where it is further rolled to achieve more precise thickness and width dimensions.
