Billets During the second stage of steel production processes, steel ingots or strand casts are hot-rolled or forged into squares with a cross-section that is usually less than 36 square inches (230cm²). Basetrade Global can supply these square billets to manufacturers of steel bars, rods, pipes, tubes and wire products. Blooms Blooms differ from billets because their cross-sectional areas exceed 36 square inches (230cm²). Basetrade Global can supply steel blooms to manufacturers of structural shapes, rails, rods, and seamless pipes for use in rotary piercing, structural shape rolling and profile rolling finishing processes. Slabs Slabs are lengths of metal that are made rectangular in cross-section by continuous casting or by rolling steel ingots. Basetrade Global can supply steel slabs for further processing via flat rolling, skelping, and pipe rolling to sheet metal, plate, strip metal, pipe, and tube manufacturers.
