There is no plate with all that. Wear resistance calls for high hardness, but that compromises toughness and the hardening starts going away around 500C as you approach the tempering temperatures. Corrosion resistance covers a lot of things. Some materials are susceptible to some things, some to others. Low carbon stainless (good impace strength, low wear strength) will handle chlorides, but simply vanishes when sulphides come along. Some things handle moving fluids well but dissolve in quiescent fluids. The only benign item you've mention is atmospheric pressure--most plates can handle that.

Depending on the actual service environment, it sounds like you're looking at some horribly expensive super-alloy like Hastelloy or high strength Incoloy.
