SS Hot Rolled Sheets / Plates
What are SS Hot Rolled Sheets / Plates?
SS Hot Rolled Sheets are flat-rolled stainless steel products manufactured through a hot rolling process at high temperatures. This process gives the sheets a scaly surface finish, rough texture, and thicker gauge tolerance, making them ideal for structural, fabrication, and heavy-duty industrial applications. They are commonly used where surface finish is not critical but strength, toughness, and weldability are essential.
Asiad Steel Industries is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of premium-grade Stainless Steel Hot Rolled Sheets, designed for use in construction, heavy machinery, shipbuilding, and industrial equipment.

Do you have questions?
Hot rolled sheets are produced at high temperatures and have a rougher finish, while cold rolled sheets are smoother and better suited for precision applications.
Yes, HR plates are excellent for welding, cutting, and machining due to their ductility and strength.
Grades like SS 310 and 321 are ideal for elevated temperature service in industrial furnaces and heat exchangers.
Yes, we offer mill edge or trimmed edge options along with pickling, shot blasting, or custom coating based on requirement.
