In the era of commercial wrought iron, blooms were slag-riddled iron castings poured in a bloomery before being worked into wrought iron. In the era of commercial steel, blooms are intermediate-stage pieces of steel produced by a first pass of rolling (in a blooming mill) that works the ingots down to a smaller cross-sectional area, but still greater than 36 in 2 (230 cm 2). [1]
It produced primary aluminum and aluminum alloys in ingots, semi-finished products made of aluminum and aluminum alloys, semi-finished products made of non-ferrous metals, metal goods, apparatus and containers, window frames and the like, cutlery, tableware and gift articles, film casting strips and bauxite.
Diehl Metall Messing (German for brass) in Röthenbach an der Pegnitz manufactures semi-finished brass like rods, tubes and profiles as well as cast billets and ingots from their own foundry. The total capacity is 150,000 tons of semi-finished products per year.
Teesside Beam Mill (TBM) is a steel reheating and rolling plant located at Lackenby, on Teesside, North Yorkshire, England.The plant was set up in the 1950s by the Dorman Long company and began full production in 1958, making beams for building projects.
Continuous casting, also called strand casting, is the process whereby molten metal is solidified into a "semifinished" billet, bloom, or slab for subsequent rolling in the finishing mills.
An ingot is a piece of relatively pure material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. [1] 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.

Integrated steel mill in the Netherlands.The two large towers are blast furnaces.. A steel mill or steelworks is an industrial plant for the manufacture of steel.It may be an integrated steel works carrying out all steps of steelmaking from smelting iron ore to rolled product, but may also be a plant where steel semi-finished casting products are made from molten pig iron or from scrap.
