Billet (billet) is the preparation of aluminum in a quite large form, in the form of ingot. Aluminum billet is obtained by casting.
To convert aluminum into billet form, the obtained aluminum is melted and poured into special molds.
It has a long, narrow, and tube-like appearance. The billet is a small, semi-finished metal piece that can be rectangular, circular, or square in shape.
Alloys whose main metal is aluminum are called “Aluminum Alloys”. Aluminum alloys are formed by adding elements such as copper, zinc, silicon, magnesium, manganese, iron, nickel, titanium, etc. is formed by adding elements.
Their properties are their lightness, heat and electrical conductivity, their suitability for heat treatment and their resistance to some chemical effects.
