Continuous cast billets: manufacturer and supplier
We are a continuous cast billet manufacturer and a continuous cast billet supplier India forging shops and mills can buy from. Our continuously cast steel billets, also called CCM steel billets, are cast on a continuous caster from refined and vacuum degassed steel, which is why we also describe them as vacuum degassed steel billets.
Steel billets and blooms are supplied as steel billets up to 12 metres in length, or as cut to length steel billets to suit your furnace and saw.

Billet and bloom questions
What is the difference between a steel billet and a bloom?
Both are continuously cast semi-finished sections. A billet is the smaller section, up to about 160 mm square, and a bloom is larger, from about 200 mm square up. Billets are rolled into bars or forged into smaller parts, and blooms are rolled or forged into larger parts.
What is continuous casting?
Liquid steel is poured into a water-cooled copper mould and drawn out as a solid strand that is cut to length. It avoids the head and bottom crop losses of mould casting and gives a uniform structure in smaller sections.
Are Kesari Alloys billets suitable for forging?
Yes. They are forging-quality billets for forging, ring rolling, upsetting and rolling. They are suitable for sawing or shearing in the cold condition.
Can billets be supplied ground or heat treated?
Yes. Heat treatment, spot grinding and full grinding are available on request, at extra charge.
