Description
Steam is a byproduct of the wide and heavy plate production process. It is a key form of energy widely used in many industrial and commercial applications for purposes such as heating, electricity generation, and cleaning. 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 the production process. This dataset is formed by merging data from multiple sources.

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.
