Forging and re-rolling billets
Forging billets and re-rolling billets in a wide range of stainless steels, duplex stainless steels and nickel alloys. The billets are 100% ultrasonically and eddy current tested in a fully automated inspection line to ensure the highest quality standards.
Forging billets
Sandvik's billets for forging are suitable for producing all types of forged products, such as flanges, discs, rings, valves, forged parts, and axles. Our program of forging billets includes a wide range of stainless steels and high-alloy materials.
Re-rolling billets
Billets for re-rolling of strip, wire, bar, hexagons and profiles, available in square and rectangular sizes. The production route for re-rolling billets is often more simplified than that for forging billets, since in most cases products do not require a dense center. For many of these products, continuous cast material can be used, which contributes to lower raw material costs.
