Artificial corundum

cpc code 37960 covers the production of artificial corundum, a type of synthetic gemstone that has become increasingly important in various industries. Artificial corundum is a versatile material with applications ranging from abrasives and cutting tools to jewelry and decorative items. As a key component in many manufacturing processes, the artificial corundum industry plays a vital role in supporting a wide range of economic activities.

The production of artificial corundum typically involves the use of high-temperature furnaces to fuse aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with various additives, such as chromium or titanium, to create the desired color and properties. The molten mixture is then cooled and crystallized, resulting in the formation of artificial corundum. Depending on the specific application, the corundum may be further processed through cutting, polishing, or other finishing techniques.

The main inputs required for the production of artificial corundum include raw materials such as aluminum oxide, as well as specialized equipment like high-temperature furnaces and precision cutting tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production machinery and performing quality control measures.

The primary outputs of the artificial corundum industry are the synthetic gemstones themselves, which are used in a variety of applications. These include 32720 Abrasives, 32730 Cutting tools, 32740 Jewelry and related articles, and 32750 Decorative items. The artificial corundum produced in this industry is often a key input for these downstream industries, supporting their manufacturing and production processes.
