Steel Products

These are intermediate steel forms that are not yet ready for direct use by end customers. They are produced in steel mills and then sent to rolling mills or other facilities for further shaping.

Common examples:

• Slab – A thick, flat rectangular piece of steel (used to make steel plates and sheets).
• Billet – A long square or round bar (used to make rebar, wire rods, and bars).
• Bloom – Similar to a billet but larger in cross-section (used for structural steel products).

Think of semi-finished products as raw shapes of steel waiting to be processed into final products.
