Rolling Slab / Strip Cast Coil Stock 1xxx/3xxx · Billet / Rod · Billets & Wire Rod
Rolling Slab / Strip Cast Coil Stock is traded in billet / rod form, sourced from primary smelter / continuous caster. Billets are round logs cast for extrusion, mostly in 6063 and 6061, while wire rod is continuously cast and rolled rod used to draw conductors. Both are semi-finished feedstock rather than end products.

What to check before you buy
- Alloy & temper: Always specify both, for example 6063-T6 or 5052-H32. The alloy sets the chemistry and the temper sets strength and formability.
- Dimensions / tolerance: Write down the size and the allowed variation, for example thickness, width, diameter or length with plus and minus limits, and agree how they will be measured.
- Chemical composition: List the alloy standard and the limits for key elements such as Si, Cu, Fe, Mg, Zn and Mn. Ask for a composition report with every lot and keep the right to test on arrival.
- Lot check: Confirm alloy, diameter and length tolerance, homogenisation, grain refining and surface finish for billets. For wire rod, check EC or alloy grade, conductivity, tensile strength, coil weight and the mill test certificate.
