1.Raw Material Inspection & Billet Cutting: Adopt high-quality stainless steel alloy billets of standard grades.Strictly inspect chemical composition, internal metallographic structure, surface quality and mechanical properties to ensure compliance with international industry standards. Eliminate raw materials with cracks, inclusions and oxide defects. Qualified billets are precisely cut into fixed-length blanks according to product specifications to prepare for subsequent heating and rolling procedures.
2.High-Temperature Heating & Rough Rolling:
Place the qualified steel blanks in a professional heating furnace for constant-temperature heating to achieve uniform internal and external temperature and stable metal fluidity. Adopt multi-pass rough rolling technology to initially shape the cylindrical outline, gradually compress the internal structure, refine metal grains and eliminate internal pores. This process improves the overall compactness, structural density and preliminary dimensional accuracy of the round bar.
3.Finish Rolling & Precision Shaping:
Conduct high-precision finish rolling after rough rolling to further calibrate roundness, straightness and outer diameter tolerance. Strictly control rolling speed and pressure to ensure uniform bar diameter, smooth cylindrical surface and consistent overall linearity. Precision finish rolling effectively optimizes surface texture and dimensional stability, meeting the tolerance requirements of industrial finished and semi-finished round bars.
4.Heat Treatment & Stress Relief:
Perform standardized solution annealing and tempering heat treatment according to different stainless steel grades. Completely eliminate internal residual stress generated during rolling and forming, stabilize material hardness and mechanical toughness, and significantly improve corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and tensile strength. This process prevents deformation and cracking during subsequent cutting, turning and secondary machining.
5.Surface Finishing & Full Inspection:
Carry out customized surface treatments including pickling passivation, bright polishing, centerless grinding and black skin finishing to meet different customer requirements. Remove surface oxide scales, rolling traces and tiny burrs to obtain smooth and clean bar surface. Conduct full-range professional inspections including dimensional tolerance detection, straightness test, surface defect screening, hardness test and corrosion resistance sampling inspection to ensure all indicators meet industrial standards.
6.Cutting, Marking & Warehousing:
Cut finished round bars into customized fixed lengths according to order requirements. Mark product grade, specification, production batch and execution standard on each bar. Complete sorting, counting and adopt dust-proof, moisture-proof and anti-collision professional packaging. All qualified products are classified and stored in standardized warehouses and delivered after final verification.
