Product type
Blooms are semi-finished metal products that are typically produced by hot rolling or casting. They are characterized by their rectangular cross-section and are often made from steel or other alloys. Blooms serve as an intermediate form that can be further processed into various final products such as beams, rails, and other structural components.
| Material | Carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel |
| Typical dimensions | Width: 150 mm to 400 mm, Height: 150 mm to 300 mm |
| Weight per piece | Up to several tons, depending on size |
| Production process | Hot rolling or continuous casting |
| Surface finish | Rough or scaled surface |
When selecting blooms, buyers should consider the specific material grade required for their application, as well as the dimensions that will best suit their manufacturing processes. It's important to specify tolerances and surface finish requirements, as these can affect the final product quality. Additionally, buyers should inquire about certifications related to quality standards and the quantities needed for their projects.
