Metal Slabs Manufactures

This category will be useful for companies dealing with metallurgy. Metal slabs are an intermediate product of metallurgical manufacturing. Slabs are used for sheet steel rolling and strip steel rolling. In ferrous metallurgy, the hot sheet rolling is made mainly from slabs.

The slab is a steel billet of rectangular cross-section with a large ratio of width to height (up to 15). Its width is 400-2500 mm, and its height (thickness) is 75-600 mm. There are cast and rolled slabs. Slabs are made from raw steel ingots by rolling with crimping mills (slabbing) as well as directly from liquid metal in continuous casting plants.

In 2018, the global raw steel manufacturing reached to 1.81 billion tons. In 2018, China produced 928 million tons of raw steel. It is 51.3% of the global total. Among the largest producers, we can find India (160.5 million tons), Japan (104.3 million tons,) the United States (86.7 million tons) and South Korea (72.5 million tons.) Raw steel demand is expected to grow.

On the platform, Chinese, Indian, and Russian suppliers offer metal slabs in different sizes which are made of steel with different grades. The minimum order starts from 5 kg or several pieces. The prices for metal slabs are very different. As a rule, in this category, the price is set per 1 kg or ton and depends on the chemical composition and method of manufacturing and processing.

Most metal slabs are used in automotive, instrument and mechanical engineering industries. Besides, it is required in construction.
