254 stainless steel hot rolled plate
254 stainless steel hot rolled plates, also known as UNS S31254 or 6% Mo super austenitic stainless steel, are highly alloyed materials with exceptional resistance to corrosion and high mechanical strength. These plates are produced through a hot rolling process, where the steel is heated above its recrystallization temperature and then passed through a series of rollers to achieve the desired thickness.
