Steel slabs are semi-finished steel products with a rectangular cross-section, produced through continuous casting (CCM) or by rolling large ingots. These slabs serve as the primary raw material for manufacturing a wide range of flat steel products including hot-rolled coils, cold-rolled sheets, galvanized sheets, color-coated coils, welded pipes, and profiles. Steel slabs are available in various grades such as carbon, low-carbon, alloy, and stainless steel, tailored for diverse end-use applications across industries like automotive, construction, home appliances, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, and heavy industry.
