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.
