Description
Steam is a byproduct of the wide and heavy plate production process. It is a key form of energy in many industrial and commercial applications, widely used for heating, electricity generation, and cleaning purposes. Carbon steel wide and heavy plates are primarily composed of iron and carbon, with small amounts of other alloying elements possibly added depending on the desired mechanical properties. These plates exhibit high strength, good toughness, and weldability, making them widely used in construction, bridge building, shipbuilding, heavy machinery manufacturing, and large-scale infrastructure projects. Due to their thickness and dimensions, they are particularly suitable for structural components subjected to extreme pressure and heavy loads. The production process of heavy plate includes billet preheating, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling, and leveling, covering energy consumption, material consumption, waste treatment, and environmental emissions during production. This dataset is formed by merging data from multiple sources.

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.
