![]() The ingot is then heated up to high temperature and forged either with a hammer or press to a form ready for hot rolling. At that point the steel is in “cast” form. Smaller ingots are better for limiting the segregation of alloying elements and keeping the cast structure fine. A typical ingot size for tool steel or high speed steel might be 10″ thick either round or square depending on the production process and the desired final shape. When the steel company makes the steel they produce a large melt of the steel with the desired composition and pour it into a mold which solidifies and produces an ingot.
