Description
Steam is a byproduct of the wide and heavy plate production process. It is a key form of energy used in many industrial and commercial applications, widely utilized for heating, electricity generation, and cleaning purposes. Q235B wide and heavy plate is a type of carbon structural steel plate belonging to the Q235 series defined by the Chinese standard GB/T 700. Q235B indicates that the material has good plasticity, toughness, weldability, and adequate strength, and is widely used in construction engineering, bridges, ships, vehicle manufacturing, high pressure vessels, and heavy machinery structures. 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. This dataset is formed by merging data from multiple sources.

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.
