Steel billets are a semi-finished product of steel production, typically with a square or rectangular cross-section, created by casting molten steel into molds.

They are an intermediate material that is reheated and further processed by rolling, forging, or extrusion into finished products like bars, rods, and wires. Billets are the raw material for many applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and machinery manufacturing.

Characteristics Shape: Usually square or rectangular, though sometimes round.

• Form: Solid, bar-shaped pieces of steel.
• Surface: A rough surface is typical, and the ends may be deformed from shearing.
• Structure: Billets have a distinct grain structure that allows for further processing.
• Properties: High strength, flexibility, and elasticity, especially when heated for shaping.
• Purity: Premium billets can be produced with very low levels of impurities, which improves weldability and fatigue resistance.
