X Close Billets
View GalleryView Gallery+ MOREKnown to have different stages in the production process, steel billets are the outcome of the second stage.
A billet is a long metal that has a round or square cross-section, with an area less than 36 square inches. Billets are indirectly created via hot rolling or directly via molding from an ingot or strand cast.
Due to their length, they are used for most long steel products such as bars, rods, pipes, tubes, wire and wire products.
