Stainless steel plate is generally a general term for stainless steel plate and acid-resistant steel plate. Coming out at the beginning of this century, the development of stainless steel plate has laid an important material and technological foundation for the development of modern industry and scientific and technological progress. There are many kinds of stainless steel plates with different properties, and it has gradually formed several categories in the development process. The surface of the stainless steel plate is smooth, has high plasticity, toughness and mechanical strength, and is resistant to acid, alkaline gas, solution and other media corrosion. It is an alloy steel that is not easy to rust, but it is not absolutely rust free.

Stainless steel is initially produced in slabs, which are then put through a conversion process using a Z mill, which converts the slab into coil prior to further rolling. These wide coils are typically made at around 1250mm (sometimes a little wider) and are known as 'mill edge coils'. After the stainless steel roll is rolled flat, it becomes a stainless steel sheet(plate).
