Continuous Cast Shapes

Continuous casting (also called strand casting) is the process whereby molten steel is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills.

Wire
Triangle     Square     Round

Wire is often reduced to the desired diameter and properties by repeated drawing through progressively smaller dies, or traditionally holes in draw plates. The wire may be heated to red heat in an inert atmosphere to soften it, and then cooled, in a process called annealing.


Rod

Numerous sizes, shapes and types of rod metal are available at competitive prices. All order sizes accepted, from small to large and special orders.
