Description
304 stainless steel wide and 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 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 consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions required during production. This dataset is inferred from multiple data 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
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.
