A billet serves as an intermediate product in metalworking defined mostly as either a rectangle or a cylinder, which is considered a raw material for the subsequent processing into metal products such as rods, wires, and structural parts. Billets can be produced through casting or extrusion from steel, aluminum, and many other metal varieties.

Key Features:

• Types of Billets: A continuous casting technique, extrusion, or rolling process can produce billets. Steel billets are most widely used in construction and manufacturing, while those made of aluminum are greatly beneficial in the automotive and aerospace industries. 
• Properties Enhanced: The properties of billets-such as strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, etc.-are improved through controlled alloying and heat treatment processes for the use of different industrial applications. 
• Wide Variety of Applications: Billets are also fundamentally needed during the production of any number of metal products, such as reinforcement bars for construction, seamless pipes applicable in the energy industries, and precision machined components for automotive and aerospace. 

 Billet is an important intermediate material in metalworking and manufacturing. They enable companies to use standardized and easily worked raw materials in their production, thereby facilitating more efficient production processes in different applications. Continuous casting of billets increases productivity and minimizes any wastage of raw materials, resulting in cost-effective and green manufacturing within the steel industry. Among the areas of recent developments in billet production are further control of quality, refinement of alloyed composition, and adoption of green production approaches in order to fulfill changing market requirements and environmental standards.
