Description
This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.
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 be subjected to heat treatment and surface treatment based on different application requirements to enhance their corrosion and wear resistance. The 20Cr13 stainless steel medium plate is a martensitic stainless steel material suitable for manufacturing tools and components requiring wear and corrosion resistance, such as blades, surgical instruments, valves, pumps, and shafts.

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.
