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 plate, also known as heavy-duty steel plate, is a large-sized steel product widely used in industrial applications. These plates typically have a thickness exceeding 20 millimeters 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. Carbon steel heavy plates are primarily composed of iron and carbon, and may include small amounts of other alloying elements depending on the desired mechanical properties. These plates have high strength, good toughness, and weldability, making them widely used in construction, bridge building, shipbuilding, heavy machinery manufacturing, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Due to their thickness and dimensions, they are particularly suitable for structural components subjected to extreme pressure and heavy loads.

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.
