Steel billets are semi-finished metal products that are typically produced through a process called continuous casting or rolling. They are generally square in shape and have a cross-sectional area of less than 36 square inches. Steel billets serve as the raw material for various downstream steel products, such as bars, rods, and wire.
The production of steel billets typically involves melting metal in an electric arc furnace or basic oxygen furnace. The molten metal is then cast into molds to form solid billets, which are subsequently cooled and cut to the desired length. The billets are then further processed through rolling mills to achieve the desired shape, size, and properties.
Steel billets find wide application in the manufacturing of various steel products across industries such as construction, automotive, infrastructure, and machinery. They are commonly used as feedstock for producing reinforcing bars, wire rods, seamless tubes, and other structural components. Steel billets play a crucial role in the steel supply chain, serving as the foundation for a wide range of finished steel products that are essential in modern society.
