Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of 600 mm or more

cpc code 41221 covers the production of flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of 600 mm or more. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader steel manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, including 41222 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of less than 600 mm, 41223 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, plated or coated, and 41224 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, clad. The production of these flat-rolled steel products is a key component of the global manufacturing supply chain, contributing to the development of infrastructure, transportation, and various consumer goods.

The production of flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of 600 mm or more, typically involves a series of steps. First, the raw materials, which are primarily non-alloy steel slabs or billets, are heated in a furnace to the appropriate temperature. The heated material is then passed through a series of rolling mills, where it is gradually reduced in thickness and elongated to the desired dimensions. The cold-rolling process helps to improve the steel's strength, hardness, and surface finish. Finally, the flat-rolled products are cut to the required lengths and widths, and may undergo additional processing, such as surface treatment or packaging, before being shipped to customers.

The main inputs required for the production of flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of 600 mm or more, include non-alloy steel slabs or billets, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mills, furnaces, and other production equipment to facilitate the cold-rolling process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential for powering the manufacturing facilities and heating the raw materials.

The primary output of this industry is flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of 600 mm or more. These products are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 41222 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of less than 600 mm, 41223 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, plated or coated, and 41224 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, clad, which use these materials to manufacture a wide range of goods, such as automotive parts, construction materials, and consumer electronics.
