A billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section, with an area less than 36 square inches. Billets are created directly via continuous casting or extrusion or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot or bloom. Billets are further processed via profile rolling and drawing. Final products include bar stock and wire.
