Ingots and Billets

Listing ID #3946766

An ingot is a material, usually Iron or Steel, which is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. Ingots require a second procedure of shaping, such as cold/hot working, cutting or milling to produce a useful final product.An ingot is typically cast to a convenient geometry for further primary processing, e.g. heat treatment. A. Navinchandra Steels (Group) supplies quality Ingots to Rolling Mills.

Billet is a term used in manufacturing to refer to a cast product. A cast product is defined as either ingot or a billet, depending on whether the cross-sectional diameter is greater than or less than approximately 200 mm, respectively. A billet is typically cast to a geometry compatible with secondary processing, e.g. forging and heavy rolling mill.
