Description
430 stainless steel medium and heavy plates are ferritic stainless steel plates widely used due to their good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. These plates exhibit favorable processability and can be cut, formed, and welded using conventional metalworking techniques. The production process of medium and heavy plates includes steps such as billet preheating, rough rolling, finishing rolling, cooling, and leveling, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions throughout the production process. This dataset is inferred from multiple data sources.
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-thick plates are commonly used steel products characterized by high strength, good toughness, and weldability. They come in various types, including carbon steel plates, low-alloy steel plates, and stainless steel plates. These plates are typically manufactured through a hot-rolling process, which ensures uniform thickness and a smooth surface. Medium-thick plates can also undergo heat treatment and surface treatment based on different application requirements to enhance their corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The 430 stainless steel medium-thick plate is a ferritic stainless steel known for its good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance, widely used in various applications. Type 430 stainless steel plate and heavy plate exhibit good processability and can be cut, formed, and welded using conventional metalworking techniques.

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.
