Granules and powders, of pig iron and spiegeleisen, or steel
CPC v2.1 Code: 41117
About granules and powders, of pig iron and spiegeleisen, or steel
cpc code 41117 covers the production of granules and powders of pig iron, spiegeleisen, and steel. These materials are essential inputs for a wide range of manufacturing industries, from construction and automotive to machinery and consumer goods. As a key component in the production of various metal products, the granules and powders described by this code play a crucial role in the broader economy, supporting the development of critical infrastructure, transportation systems, and consumer durables.
Production process
The production of granules and powders under cpc code 41117 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, such as pig iron, spiegeleisen, or steel, are melted in a furnace. The molten metal is then cooled and solidified, either through a controlled casting process or by being sprayed with water or gas. This results in the formation of small, irregularly shaped particles or granules. These granules may then be further processed, such as by grinding or milling, to produce the desired powder consistency.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of granules and powders under cpc code 41117 include pig iron, spiegeleisen, and various grades of steel. These raw materials are typically sourced from 41111 Pig iron and spiegeleisen in pigs, blocks or other primary forms and 41112 Ferrous products obtained by direct reduction of iron ore and other spongy ferrous products, in lumps, pellets or similar forms; iron having a minimum purity by weight of 99.94%, in lumps, pellets or similar forms. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment such as furnaces, casting machinery, and grinding or milling machines.
Production outputs
The granules and powders produced under cpc code 41117 are primarily used as inputs for a variety of manufacturing processes. These materials may be consumed by industries such as 41121 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, 41122 (Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated), and 41123 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, clad, plated or coated, among others. The granules and powders may also be used in the production of various metal castings, powdered metal parts, and other specialized applications.
