Billets are semi-finished long steel products with a square cross section. This product is either rolled or continuously cast and is then transformed by rolling to obtain finished products. Billets are used for long steel products such as: -Bars/angles -Profiles/channels -Other structural shapes Billets: Semi-finished long products with a square or rectangular cross sections. Blooms: Made by continuous casting or by rolling from an ingot. Common finish products include structural shapes/rails/rods and seamless.
