Insights
Product insights to guide your sourcing.
Product Trends
Square billets of 130mm and 150mm sizes in 3SP and 5SP grades are in high demand. These profiles are the preferred feedstocks for producing standard rebars, wire rods, and structural profiles in downstream rolling mills.
Industrial Cluster Analysis
Hebei (Tangshan) is China's largest steel billet hub, offering high-volume integrated production. Shandong (Qingdao, Liaocheng) provides specialized customization and excellent coastal shipping logistics.
Quality Expectations
Buyers require strict chemical purity, with phosphorus and sulfur kept below 0.045% to ensure excellent weldability and toughness. Dimensional tolerances must be minimal to prevent downstream rolling defects.
What You Need to Know
Request a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) linked to the specific heat number. Arrange for a third-party inspection (SGS/TUV) to test chemical composition, dimension tolerances, and inspect for surface cracks.
The minimum order quantity is usually 1,000 to 5,000 tons due to bulk shipping. Production takes 20 to 35 days, while ocean freight times vary depending on the destination port and shipping schedule.
Budget for bulk ocean freight, marine insurance, export customs clearance, port handling charges, and third-party inspection fees. Buyers must clarify who covers these costs based on selected Incoterms.
