The price of steel sheets from production to consumption

The history of rolling in its contemporary meaning for the manufacturing of all types of iron sheets and steel profiles from production to consumption, although with extremely basic forms and tiny dimensions, dates back to when two cast iron rollers were mounted on a wooden frame.

Today, there are two methods for producing steel sheets: hot rolling and cold rolling; steel slab is one of these products.

Primary plate production in the strip casting plant, reduction of plate thickness and breadth in the hot rolling plant, and reworking of the plate into plates with a thickness between 1 and 7 mm, and, if required, in the third stage of cold rolling, plates produced by hot rolling.

Many steel sheets on the market have also undergone a coating process, in which paint, tin, and zinc are applied to their surface to make them more attractive and, more crucially, more resistant to corrosion or rust.
