Steel Billets
Although some of the billets produced at Falcon Steel Mills are sold directly to customers, most are processed into bars in our rolling mills. We supply high quality steel billets of various cross-sections and sizes, which enable us to meet the customer requirements and industry specifications.
Permissible variations from specified ranges and marketing are tabulated.
