Description
304 stainless steel wide and heavy plate is a type of sheet made from the most common austenitic stainless steel, which contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This alloy combination provides excellent corrosion resistance, good workability, and significant heat resistance. The production process of wide and heavy plates includes billet preheating, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling, and leveling, covering energy consumption, material usage, waste management, and environmental emissions required during production. This dataset is formed by merging data from multiple sources.

Process Description
Heavy plates, also known as heavy-section steel plates, are large-sized steel products widely used in industrial applications. These plates typically have a thickness exceeding 20 mm and can reach several meters in width, 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. 304 stainless steel heavy plate is a type of plate made from the most common austenitic stainless steel, which contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This alloy composition provides superior corrosion resistance, good workability, and significant heat resistance.

Technology comment
Heavy plate hot rolling is a high-temperature processing method that transforms large-size steel billets into heavy plates. Steel billets produced via a short-process route are heated in a reheat furnace to an appropriate rolling temperature, then fed into the roughing mill for initial rolling, where the billet is reduced into a thicker intermediate slab. Following roughing, the slab enters the finishing mill stands, where it is further rolled to achieve more precise thickness and width.
