Hot-rolled plate, formally known as hot-rolled steel plate, refers to steel produced by continuously rolling steel billets (primarily continuous cast billets) at elevated temperatures (typically heated to 1100–1250°C, above the steel's recrystallisation temperature) through rolling mills. ultimately forming single-sheet flat steel products of specified thickness, width, and length (distinguished from coiled ‘hot-rolled coils’). Both fall under the category of ‘hot-rolled steel products,’ sharing identical core production processes, differing only in their final form as “coils” or ‘sheets.’ They constitute one of the most widely utilised fundamental steel products across industrial sectors.
