Ibha yesikwele ibhekisela ezintweni ezimise okwesikwele ezikhiqizwa ngama-billets esikwele ashisayo, noma ngensimbi eyindilinga edonsa ngokubandayo.

Amapayipi ayisikweleibhekisela esimweni seshubhu esine-cross-section eyisikwele. Ingenziwa ngezinto ezahlukahlukene, yize iningi lamashubhu ayisikwele lenziwa ngamapayipi ensimbi. Inqubo ihilela ukuqaqa, ukucaba, ukugoqa, kanye nokushisela ukuze kwakheke ishubhu eliyindilinga, elibe seligoqwa libe yishubhu eliyisikwele bese lisikwa libe ubude obudingekayo. Ngokuvamile lipakishwa ngezinqwaba zezingcezu ezingama-50.

Emakethe ethengiswayo, amashubhu ayisikwele atholakala kakhulu ngobukhulu obukhulu, kusukela ku-10 × 10 × 0.8–1.5 kuya ku-500 × 500 × 10–25Amashubhu esikwele ahlukaniswa ngokusetshenziswa kwawo abe amashubhu esikwele esakhiwe, amashubhu esikwele ahlobisayo, amashubhu esikwele okwakha, kanye namashubhu esikwele omshini, phakathi kwezinye.

Ithubhu eliyisikwele uhlobo lwezinto ezimise okwesikwele, ikakhulukazi ithubhu lensimbi elinobude obulinganayo ohlangothini. Lenziwa ngokugoqa insimbi ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwezinyathelo zokucubungula.

Okuqinile, ihlukaniswe njenge-bar stock. Ngokuvamile ikhiqizwa ngokugoqa okushisayo futhi ingacutshungulwa ibe yinsimbi eyindilinga, amabhawodi e-anchor, neminye imikhiqizo, njengemizila yesitimela.

Imbobo, ehlukaniswe njengepayipi. Ngokuvamile inamakhona ayindilinga futhi inesisindo esilula kunensimbi eyisikwele. Amadayamitha amancane ngokuvamile aguqa ngokubandayo, kuyilapho amadayamitha amakhulu evame ukuxhunyelelwa ndawonye futhi asetshenziswe ezinhlotsheni zesakhiwo.
