An ingot is a piece of relatively pure material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. In steelmaking, it is the first step among semi-finished casting products. Ingots usually require a second procedure of shaping, such as cold/hot working, cutting, or milling to produce a useful final product.
- Steel ingots range in size from small rectangular blocks weighing a few pounds to huge, tapered, octagonal masses weighing more than 500 tons.
- Tin ingots are the starting material for many products, whether the tin is to be alloyed with other metals, converted to other physical forms, applied to other metal surfaces, or converted to chemical compounds.
