Non-alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms, and semi-finished products of non-alloy steel
CPC v2.1 Code: 41121
About non-alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms, and semi-finished products of non-alloy steel
cpc code 41121 covers the production and trade of non-alloy steel in its primary forms, such as ingots and semi-finished products. This industry is a crucial component of the broader steel manufacturing sector, which is essential for the construction, automotive, and machinery industries, among others. The output from this industry serves as a vital input for a wide range of downstream manufacturing processes, making it a significant contributor to the overall economy.
Production process
The production of non-alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms typically involves the melting of iron ore, scrap metal, and other raw materials in a blast furnace or electric arc furnace. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or other semi-finished forms, such as billets, blooms, or slabs, which can be further processed into a variety of finished steel products.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of non-alloy steel in ingots or other primary forms include iron ore, scrap metal, coal, and various alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, and nickel. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces, and casting machines, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these production facilities.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 41121 are non-alloy steel in ingots, billets, blooms, and slabs. These semi-finished products are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 41122 Non-alloy steel in bars and rods, 41123 Non-alloy steel in flat-rolled products, and 41124 Non-alloy steel in tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, which further process the material into finished steel products for various applications.
