  • Detailed Description

Stainless Steel Hot Rolled Sheet

Baojing Steel supplies high-quality Stainless Steel Hot Rolled Sheets (HR Stainless Steel Sheets) in a wide range of stainless steel grades, thicknesses, widths and surface conditions for heavy-duty industrial and fabrication applications.

Hot rolled stainless steel sheet is produced by rolling stainless steel at elevated temperatures, followed by processes such as annealing, pickling, descaling, leveling and cut-to-length processing. Compared with cold rolled sheets, hot rolled stainless steel sheets are particularly suitable for thicker gauges, structural components, pressure equipment and demanding industrial applications.

We supply austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex, super duplex and heat-resistant stainless steel sheets, with customized dimensions, surface conditions and processing options available according to customer requirements.

6. Manufacturing Process

Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Sheet Production Process

Stainless Steel Slab → Slab Heating → Hot Rolling → Annealing → Pickling & Descaling → Leveling → Cut-to-Length → Inspection → Packing

01. Raw Material Selection

High-quality stainless steel slabs are selected according to:

Grade · Chemical Composition · Thickness · Width · Applicable Standard

02. Slab Heating

Stainless steel slabs are heated to a controlled high temperature to achieve suitable plasticity for hot rolling.

03. Hot Rolling

The heated slab passes through rolling mills where its thickness is progressively reduced to the required intermediate or final gauge.

Hot rolling is particularly suitable for the production of thick stainless steel products and large-format industrial materials.
