An ingot is a lump of metal, usually shaped like a brick. gold ingots. a piece of pure metal, especially gold, usually shaped like a brick (Probably from in + goten (past participle of geotan )). Mass of metal cast into a size and shape such as a bar, plate, or sheet convenient to store, transport, and work into a semifinished or finished product. The term also refers to a mold in which metal is so cast. 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 block or convenient cast shape that will be further processed by extruding, rolling, or forging Inlay A process in which grooves, recesses, or negative shapes are cut into a base material and are then inset with corresponding shapes A means used to create contrasting textures and patterns
A solid block of more or less pure metal, often but not necessarily bricklike in shape and trapezoidal in cross-section, the result of pouring out and cooling molten metal, often immediately after smelting from raw ore or alloying from constituents
A form of semi-finished steel Liquid steel is teemed (poured) into molds, where it slowly solidifies Once the steel is solid, the mold is stripped, and the 25- to 30-ton ingots are then ready for subsequent rolling or forging
A form of semi-finished metal (created by pouring liquid metal into molds for solidification during cooling) Ingot then is rolled or forged into other shapes Note that steel ingots weight as much as 30 tons
Semi-finished stainless steel that has been poured into molds and then solidified The molds are then removed and the stainless steel is ready for rolling or forging
The mass of metal that results from casting molten steel into a mould An ingot is usually rectangular in shape and is subsequently rolled into blooms and billets for rods, bars and sections and slabs for plates, sheet and strip With the increasing use of the continuous casting process the ingot route is less used as the molten steel is now directly cast into a bloom or billet
