Direct cast billet for long steel products

Our steel billets have a square cross-section and are suitable for steel reinforcement, structural, low-carbon, and drawing applications.

Our steel is produced through the basic oxygen steelmaking (BOS) process and is then refined in a ladle arc furnace and vacuum degasser facilities

These processes control the steel temperatures and chemistries extremely tightly, ensuring our wide range of steel grades meets the most demanding customer requirements.

Our billets are continuously cast through an 8-strand billet caster — sequence casting is used and the steel is fully shrouded between fine ladle and tundish to prevent reoxidation.

Quality Assurance

Our long and successful history in steelmaking means you can be assured of re¢erying top quality billets for your production lines.

Billet identification

Our billets are each hard stamped with a 5-digit cast number, ensuring traceability. If the hard stamp is illegible or missing, a paint stencil can be used as an alternative.
