Flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than cold-rolled

CPC v2.1 Code: 4122

About flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than cold-rolled

cpc code 4122 covers the production of flat-rolled steel products that have undergone cold-rolling as their final stage of processing. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader steel manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, from construction and automotive to machinery and consumer goods. The cold-rolling process imparts desirable properties to the steel, such as improved surface finish, increased strength, and enhanced formability, making these products highly versatile and in high demand across the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel products under cpc code 4122 typically involves a series of steps. First, hot-rolled steel coils or sheets are fed into a cold-rolling mill, where they are passed between a set of rollers under high pressure. This process reduces the thickness of the steel and imparts the desired mechanical properties. Depending on the specific requirements, the cold-rolled steel may undergo additional processing, such as annealing, temper rolling, or surface treatments, to further enhance its characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of flat-rolled steel products under cpc code 4122 include raw steel, typically in the form of hot-rolled coils or sheets, as well as specialized rolling equipment, such as cold-rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and finishing lines. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of auxiliary materials, including lubricants, coolants, and protective coatings, to ensure the quality and efficiency of the production process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the cpc code 4122 industry are flat-rolled steel products, such as sheets, strips, and plates, that have been cold-rolled and are ready for further processing or use in various applications. These products are often consumed by 4123 Flat-rolled products of steel, plated or coated, 4124 Flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, and 4125 Flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, as well as industries involved in the manufacture of machinery, construction materials, and consumer goods.
