An ingot is a material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further processing. Non-metallic and semiconductor materials prepared in bulk form may also be referred to as ingots, particularly when cast by mold based methods.
A solid block of more or less pure metal, often but not necessarily bricklike in shape and trapezoidal in cross-section, the result of pouring out and cooling molten metal, often immediately after smelting from raw ore or alloying from constituents
(Ingots) Convenient shapes into which newly refined, molten metal is poured for storage. The ingots are then remelted and cast into desired molds.
A mass of silver or gold cast in a mold, or stamped from sheet.
An oblong piece of cast metal, usually of gold or silver, with weight and fineness specified used in the production of coins.
A steel casting that was formed when molten steel solidifies in a mold. The ingot is then reheated and rolled into slabs, plates, blooms or billets for further processing into bars and sheets.
A casting intended for subsequent rolling, forging, or extrusion.
