Slabs of stainless steel are large, flat, and thick pieces of steel that serve as the initial form or
semi-finished product in the production of various stainless steel products. They are typically produced
through a process called casting, where molten stainless steel is poured into molds and allowed to solidify.
Once solidified, the slabs are further processed through rolling to reduce their thickness and shape them
into
usable forms such as sheets, plates, or coils.
These stainless steel slabs are essential in the manufacturing industry, as they are often the starting
material
for more specialized products like structural components, automotive parts, and kitchen appliances.
Their thickness can vary, but they are generally between 150 mm to 250 mm thick and can be made from
various grades of stainless steel, depending on their intended use.
