Stainless Steel

1. Melting and Refining

Raw materials are melted, and the alloy composition is adjusted to achieve the requirements of the intended stainless steel grade.

2. Casting and Hot Working

The steel is cast into suitable forms, such as slabs or billets, before hot rolling or forging into the required product form.

3. Cold Working

Some products undergo cold rolling to reduce sheet or strip thickness. Drawing may be used to produce smaller-diameter rod or wire.

4. Annealing, Pickling and Finishing

Depending on the grade and product requirements, annealing, pickling and finishing operations are used to obtain the specified condition and surface.
