About Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate. Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate is a stainless steel product with more than 254 mm in width and at least 4.76 mm in thickness, produced by passing a heated metal piece through rolls in three steps: primary rolling, conditioning, and finish rolling. In the first operation, ingots are broken down into semifinished shapes, such as blooms, billets, slabs, and rounds, by reducing cross-section and increasing length. During the process, the ingots are constantly reheated to achieve a homogeneous temperature, guaranteeing plasticity during rolling. In the conditioning process, some defects from the previous step must be removed, depending on the application of the final products. During the finish rolling, the piece is worked to obtain the desired finished shape of a plate, and a final heat treatment can be applied to enhance the microstructure. Rolling is used for thickness reduction, and an already Rolled Stainless Steel Plate can undergo the same process to achieve further reduction and properties enhancement. Due to the heating during forming, hot rolling is a quicker and cheaper process than cold rolling, losing some strength qualities.
Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate Handling. The transports used for plates depend on several factors, for example, the location and weight of the plates. These transports can be: rail, truck and ship.
Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate Uses. The uses and applications of Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate are austenitic stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel, martensitic stainless steel, and precipitation-hardening stainless steel. Each of these forms has a specific chemical composition, in addition to iron, varying the percentage of carbon, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, nitrogen, and manganese, among others, such as titanium, aluminum, tantalum, and niobium. Usually, the plates have a width greater than 600 mm, thickness of 4.75-10 mm.
