What is aluminum and stainless steel sheet? - toyota1515 - 01-12-2023
A metal slab or billet that has been preheated is fed through rollers until it reaches the desired thickness to make a sheet. “Hot rolling” is the term used to describe this procedure.
Products made of stainless and carbon steel are frequently pickled after being hot-rolled. The metal is put through an acid bath to achieve this. After the pickling process, traditional carbon steel is quite prone to rust. Thus, a thin layer of oil is applied to protect the surface. The majority of stainless steel doesn’t need this.
