Hot-Rolled Stainless Steel Plate

Thickness 2-20mm, industrial structure / equipment manufacturing field

These plates are suitable for heavy machinery structures, pressure vessels, chemical equipment enclosures, and other industrial applications, in accordance with standard stainless steel material specifications.

  • High Strength

    Hot-rolled plates have 15–20% higher tensile strength than cold-rolled plates (304 hot-rolled ≥ 520MPa).

  • Thick-Section Capability

    Available in 2–20mm thickness, with maximum single-sheet weight up to 5 tons, meeting the needs of large-scale equipment manufacturing.

  • Cost Efficiency

    Hot-rolling eliminates multiple cold-rolling steps, reducing cost by 10–15% compared to cold-rolled plates of the same material and thickness.

FAQ

What is a hot rolled stainless steel plate?

It is produced by rolling stainless steel at high temperatures, resulting in good structural integrity and cost-effective thicknesses.

What applications are hot rolled stainless steel plates used for?

Typical uses include pressure vessels, structural components, tanks, bridges, and industrial fabrication.

What surface finish does hot rolled plate have?

Hot rolled plates usually have a mill finish or pickled surface, suitable for further processing or fabrication.

What thickness range is available?

Hot rolled stainless steel plates are available in thicker gauges compared to cold rolled sheets, with custom thickness options.

Can hot rolled plates be cut or processed further?

Yes. Plates can be flame cut, laser cut, water-jet cut, or machined according to customer drawings.
