Billets

A billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section, Billets are created directly via continuous casting or extrusion or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot or bloom. Billets are further processed via profile rolling and drawing. Final products include bar stock and wire.

Centrifugal casting is also used to produce short circular tubes as billets, usually to achieve a precise metallurgical structure. They are commonly used as cylinder sleeves where the inner and outer diameters are ground and machined to length. Because their size is not modified significantly, they are not always classified as semi-finished casting products. 

I.    Billet Size   : 150 X 150mm and 130 X 130mm
II.   Grade         :  ASTM A 615, SASO SSA 2, BS 4449, SAE 1006, SAE 1008, SAE 1010,
                          SAE 1012 and other grades as per customer specifications.

Welded Wire Mesh

One of Al-FAISAL STEEL’s production departments is engaged in the manufacture of welded wire mesh products. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art welding machine that produces high-quality products in adherence to both local and international guidelines for manufacturing welded wire mesh. Our welding machine can customize both the size and properties of welded wire mesh.

Some of the benefits we offer our customers include precise size, unique spacing, high strength and flat surface welding. We use a signature automated weaving technique and a mesh welding machine that allow us to produce high-quality welded wire mesh at economical prices.

Welded wire mesh is also a steel reinforcement material used in concrete structures. AL-FAISAL STEEL’s welded wire mesh is strong and durable. The mesh can be used to replace conventional cut & bend mesh. Welded mesh is a combination of welded and pre-assembled reinforcements. It is composed of an arrangement of parallel and longitudinal wires with a precise spatial array welded to cross wires at pre-defined spacing. This spacing is defined by national and global standards, such as ASTM A 497, BS 4483, DIN 488 and SASO.

Welded wire mesh is made of high-quality steel wire through a pre-programmed and automated process using complex welding techniques. This produces a mesh with precise dimensional control, a top-notch product with considerable savings in time and labor costs.
