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 plate is a commonly used steel product, characterized primarily by high strength, good toughness, and weldability. There are various types of medium and heavy plates, including carbon steel plates, low-alloy steel plates, and stainless steel plates. They are typically produced through hot rolling processes, which ensure uniform thickness and a flat surface. Medium and heavy plates can also undergo heat treatment and surface treatment according to different application requirements, to enhance their corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Stainless steel medium and heavy plates are usually made from chromium-containing alloy steel, with a chromium content of approximately 10. More than 5%, sometimes containing additional elements such as nickel and molybdenum to enhance corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Main applications of stainless steel heavy plates include building facades, food processing equipment, chemical processing vessels, marine facilities, medical devices, and high-end kitchen equipment.

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.
