Remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel

cpc code 39350 covers the industry of remelting scrap ingots of iron or steel. This process is a crucial step in the recycling and reuse of ferrous metals, which are essential raw materials for various manufacturing industries. By remelting scrap ingots, the industry helps to conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and contribute to the circular economy.

The main production technique in this industry involves the remelting of scrap iron or steel ingots. This is typically done in electric arc furnaces or induction furnaces, where the scrap is heated to high temperatures, melted, and then cast into new ingots or other intermediate products. The remelting process helps to remove impurities and refine the metal, ensuring consistent quality and properties.

The primary input for this industry is scrap iron or steel ingots. These scrap materials can come from a variety of sources, including manufacturing processes, construction and demolition activities, and end-of-life products. In addition to the scrap metal, the industry also requires energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the remelting furnaces, as well as various refractory materials and other consumables to support the production process.

The main output of this industry is remelted iron or steel ingots, which can then be used as raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing industries. These ingots may be further processed or used directly in the production of 39360 Steel, iron, or ferroalloy manufacturing, 33610 Motor vehicle manufacturing, 33120 Construction machinery manufacturing, and other industries that rely on ferrous metals as key inputs.
