Steel ingots range in size from small rectangular blocks weighing a few pounds (or kilograms) to huge, tapered, octagonal masses weighing more than 500 tons (450 metric tons)

A mass of metal such as gold cast in a mold to get a convenient shape for storage or transportation, to be later remelted for casting or rolling
