I consider it just for a common sense for which I am not sure at all.

I guess these are just smaller than a "lingot"

pellets

My comment:

I am offering my answer once again because:
1. It should have been in plural (not pellet)
2. I have offered a dentistry reference which apparently has nothing to do with the context and requires explanation.
The only reference I could find for both 'lingots' and 'lingotins' in one place was on sites concerned with dental supplies. My reasoning is that what is applicable to ceramics should also be applicable to other substances like aluminium.

Good thinking, Prabir Mudallar. There might be some other, special, out-of-the-way word; but in the context given, "pellets" sounds an excellent choice.
