Product Introduction

Steel billet is a semi-finished metal product that is an intermediate form of steel. It is a rectangular or square-shaped cast or hot-rolled product that is used to produce various steel products like bars, rods, wire, and seamless tubes. Steel billets are typically produced by casting or hot rolling steel ingots.

Steel billets come in different sizes, shapes, and grades, depending on the intended use. The specification of a steel billet includes its size, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and surface finish. The size of a billet can range from a few centimeters to several meters in length, and the cross-sectional area can vary from a few square centimeters to several hundred square centimeters. The most common grades of steel billet are carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless steel.

Advantages of Billets

Improve material utilization. Steel billet production, especially continuous casting technology, can reduce the generation of scrap steel and improve material utilization.

Reduce energy consumption. Continuous casting of billets does not require additional heating and cooling energy, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared with traditional production methods.

Improve billet quality. Continuous casting technology can control the shape and size of the billet and reduce deformation of the billet. At the same time, the solid skin layer on the surface of the billet helps prevent internal factors from affecting quality.

Shorten the production cycle. Continuous cast steel billets can be directly hot-rolled into shape, which reduces production time and improves production efficiency.

Increase productivity. Continuous casting technology has a high one-time casting rate and high production efficiency.

Cut costs. By reducing scrap output and conserving raw materials, continuous casting technology can reduce production costs.

Good surface quality and uniform internal structure. The surface quality of continuous cast steel billets is good and the internal structure is uniform, making it suitable for mass production.

Suitable for forging manufacturing. Continuous cast steel billet has high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality and no internal defects, which makes it also have certain application potential in forging manufacturing.

We have our own Physical & Chemical Testing Center Lab to guarantee our product quality. Our test items & instrument fully meet international standards.

Applications of Billets

Steel billet is a long strip or block of steel raw material, mainly used to manufacture various steel products, such as plates, bars, wires and pipes. Here are the details about billet uses: 

Automobile industry. Steel billets are an important raw material for the automobile manufacturing industry and are used to produce frames, wheels and engine components.

The construction industry. Steel billets are used in the construction field to manufacture steel bars, steel structures and other building materials, such as steel beams, steel columns, etc.

Mechanical and electrical industries. Steel billets are used in the production of machine tools, power transmission towers, etc.

Metallurgical industry. Steel billets are also used to produce other metal products such as steel wire, screws, rivets, etc., as well as in the manufacture of air purifiers and dust collectors.

Shipbuilding. Steel billets are also used in shipbuilding, such as in the construction of hulls and plating.

In short, steel billets are widely used in many fields and are one of the indispensable basic materials for modern industrial production.
