316L stainless steel hot rolled plate
316 and 316L stainless steel hot rolled plates are widely used in various industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature strength, and exceptional mechanical properties. 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.
