Billets
Sustainable building materials suppliers, Billets are long, square, or round steel pieces with smaller cross-sectional dimensions than blooms. Typically, they measure 100 x 100 mm to 150 x 150 mm and are used as a starting material for wire rods, bars, and smaller structural shapes.

Billets are the unsung heroes of metalworking.
Imagine a massive, solid chunk of metal, ready to be transformed into something incredible.
That’s what billets are.
They’re the raw material for things like car parts, building structures, and even everyday tools.
Billets come in all shapes and sizes, perfect for various uses.
By Beyond Group construction materials suppliers in Dubai typically, they measure 100 x 100 mm to 150 x 150 mm and are used as a starting material for wire rods, bars, and smaller structural shapes.
- Dimensions: Cross-section (100×100 mm to 150×150 mm), Length (up to 12 meters)
- Chemical Composition: Tailored to specific applications, generally containing carbon, manganese, and other alloying elements.
Applications
- Wire Rods:
- Billets are rolled into wire rods to produce wire, nails, and fencing.
- Bars:
- Converted into reinforcing bars (rebar) for concrete construction and round and square bars for mechanical applications.
- Small Structural Shapes:
- Used to produce small angles, channels, and other shapes for construction and manufacturing.
Manufacturing Process
- Continuous Casting: Molten steel is continuously cast into billets.
- Rolling and Finishing: Billets are reheated and rolled into final products.
Advantages
- Adaptability: Easily processed into various small and intricate shapes.
- Efficiency: Continuous casting and rolling processes are efficient and cost-effective.
- Quality: Produces consistent and high-quality steel suitable for diverse applications.
