Steel Billets for Re-rolling Mills
Re-rolling mills reheat billets and roll them into bars and sections. Section size, length and surface condition decide yield and finish, and the grade decides the rolling schedule.
We supply steel billets for rolling mills and steel billets for re rolling, including alloy steel billets for rolling into bars and sections, and round billets for round bar rolling.
Typical components
- Round bars
- Square bars
- Flat bars
- Special sections
Recommended steel grades
SAE 1020
A low carbon, easily formed and welded steel. It can be carburised for light case hardening.
SAE 1045 / C45
A common medium carbon steel with good strength and machinability. Often used in the normalised or quenched and tempered condition.
EN8
General-purpose medium carbon steel with a good balance of strength and machinability. It responds to quenching and tempering in small and medium sections.
SAE 5160
A chromium spring steel with good hardenability and fatigue resistance.
50CrV4
A chromium-vanadium alloy spring steel with good fatigue strength and toughness.
Choosing the billet
Longer billets, up to 12 m, reduce end losses and handling. State the bar size you will roll so the billet section can be matched to the reduction ratio.
Check the billet size chart for sections and weight per metre, and use the weight calculator for any length.
