The production of stainless steel plate is divided into two types of processes: hot rolling and cold rolling. Therefore, according to the production process, it can be divided into two types of products: hot rolled stainless steel plates and cold rolled stainless steel plates.

The stainless steel hot rolling process uses slabs (mainly continuous casting slabs) as raw materials, and after heating, they are made into strip steel by rough rolling units and finishing rolling units. The hot steel strip coming out of the last rolling mill of finishing rolling is cooled to the set temperature by laminar flow, and rolled into steel coil by the coiler. After cooling, the steel coil has scale on the surface and appears black, commonly known as "stainless steel black coil".

Stainless steel cold-rolled products are mostly hot-rolled stainless steel products with a thickness of 3.0-5.5mm, which are produced into stainless steel cold-rolled products after being calendered by cold-rolling equipment.

Today, stainless steel plates are widely used in all walks of life and play an indispensable role in human production activities.
