Kofferraumscharniere aus Rohlingsblock
Explanation:
semi-finished Billets = Halbzeug
solid aluminium Billet = Rohlingsblock aus Aluminium

Difference Between Cast and Billet: To create an aluminum casting, one must first create a mold of the part that is to be created. The mold is formed when the pattern is pushed into chemically binded sand leaving the impression of the part to be casted. Once the mold is complete the molten aluminum is poured into the mold and allowed to cool and harden. Once the molten aluminum solidifies, the mold is pulled apart and out comes the desired part.

On the other hand, billet aluminum is formed in a completely different manner. To understand completely how a billet aluminum part is made, it is necessary to understand what a billet is. A billet is a solid block of aluminum (or any material) with the size depending on the size of your desired part. The larger the desired part, the larger the billet. Contrary to casting, billet parts are created by removing excess material from the billet, essentially the part is carved out of solid aluminum. - cf. http://info.cpm-industries.com/blog/bid/283266/Cast-vs-Bille...

danke. Ich habe mich nicht für diese Übersetzung entschieden, da es um eine Marketingsache ging und das zu holprig geklungen hätte - ich umschrieb es mit ...scharnieren aus Massivmetall (was zwar nicht ganz die Sache trifft, habe aber nichts Gegenteiliges vom Kunden gehört)
