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

cpc code 41222 covers the production of flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of less than 600 mm. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader steel manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, including 41223 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of 600 mm or more, [nc_link(41224)(Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, plated or coated)), and 41225 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled.

The production of flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of less than 600 mm, involves a series of key steps. First, the steel is cast into slabs or billets, which are then subjected to hot rolling to reduce their thickness and create a more uniform shape. The hot-rolled steel is then cooled and sent through a cold-rolling process, where it is further reduced in thickness and gains additional strength and surface quality. Finally, the cold-rolled steel is cut to the desired width, ensuring it meets the specifications for cpc code 41222.

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 less than 600 mm, include raw steel, rolling mills, and specialized cutting equipment. The steel used in this industry is typically produced from iron ore, coal, and other metallic inputs, which are then processed in basic oxygen furnaces or electric arc furnaces. The rolling mills and cutting equipment used in this industry are highly specialized, requiring significant capital investment and technical expertise to operate effectively.

The primary output of this industry is flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, with a width of less than 600 mm. These products are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 41223 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, of a width of 600 mm or more, 41224 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, plated or coated, and 41225 Flat-rolled products of non-alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, which use them as raw materials for the production of a wide range of steel-based products.
