Stainless Steel Billets Global Market

Stainless steel billets are the product of melting iron ore or scrap iron using a method first introduced in the 19th century known as the Bessemer process. Billets are also known as the second-stage product of steel production. They can be produced in two ways namely continuous casting or rolled directly from the casting process by billet mills. Steel billets are very ductile and are produced in square cross-sections. They are not always practical until they have been formed into various shapes and sizes to be sold at hardware stores or used for other applications

5 Various Types of Steel Billets in The Industrial Sector

Some steel billets types of using in industry are mentioned below:

1. bars: Stainless steel bar stock offers a range of unique benefits for numerous industries and applications throughout the globe. The benefits of stainless steel bar include material longevity, corrosion resistance, attractive appearance, ease of fabrication, impact resistance and long term value. Stainless steel is one of the most widely used metals in the modern construction world.
2. rods: Stainless steel bar threaded rod from Industrial Metal Supply features continuous threading and does not include a head or fashioned tip. Stainless threaded rod 304 is available in numerous sizes to suit your specific project needs. Stainless steel threaded rod products are used in construction and various small and large projects, where speed and ease of assembly are required.
3. tubes: Stainless steel tube products are manufactured from steel alloys that provide excellent strength and advanced corrosion resistance. Stainless tubing products, including stainless 316 tubing and 304 tubing are available in round, square, and rectangular shapes to support multiple types of jobs and applications. At Industrial Metal Supply, we make it easy for you to locate and purchase the stainless steel tube that is right for you. With custom cut to size services available to give you the perfect size stainless steel tube for your specific application, Industrial Metal Supply can provide the exact length of stainless steel tube you need, which means less waste and more savings.
4. pipes: Stainless steel pipe is used for transporting liquids and gasses in a wide range of industries including mining, oil, natural gas, automotive, and aviation. Stainless steel pipes are long, hollow tubes that are used for a wide range of industrial applications. They are produced by two distinct methods which result in either a welded or seamless pipe. Alloy 304 stainless steel pipe provides enhanced strength and corrosion resistance and can be used for all types of fabrication processes, especially those that are subjected to outdoor environmental conditions.
5. wire and wire products: Stainless steel is a versatile material common to industrial uses such as lock-wire and spring wire, and also used extensively in the medical field due to its ability to meet demanding applications at relatively low cost. Wire can be made as round or flat ribbon and finished in a variety of tempers.

Stainless Steel Billet for Knife Making

Steel billets use in knife producing creates a sharp blade that is easy to re-sharpen and offers a superior level of hardness and strength. It’s ideal for blades like machetes but can be harder to work with when it becomes brittle. Stainless steel is not very resistant to corrosion either. Stainless steel is one type of knife-making metal which added benefit of using stainless steel is addition of chromium and other alloying elements that increase corrosion resistance. Stainless steel knives are normally made out of ferritic or martensitic stainless steels. In order to make knives that have decent edge retention, the martensitic and ferritic grades of stainless steel need to have a high enough carbon levels to be able to reach high hardness. Grades such as 420 and 440 are frequently used for knife making.
