    If you buy metal, it comes in various forms.  Billet and strip are two of those forms.  Billets are extruded, softening the metal with heat and then forcing it through a hole (called a 'die') to produce a bar.  Strip is metal rolled into flat bars of consistent thickness.  They're used for different purposes in machining and manufacturing.
