CPC v2.1 Code: 4123

About flat-rolled products of steel, further worked than hot-rolled or cold-rolled; flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical and high-speed steel, whether or not further worked

cpc code 4123 covers a diverse range of flat-rolled steel products that have undergone additional processing beyond the initial hot or cold rolling stages. These materials play a crucial role in a wide array of industries, from construction and automotive to machinery and electronics. Their unique properties, such as enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and specialized electrical characteristics, make them indispensable components in the manufacturing of a vast array of goods that underpin the global economy.

Production process

The production of the flat-rolled steel products covered under cpc code 4123 typically involves a multi-step process. After the initial hot or cold rolling, the steel may undergo further treatments such as annealing, tempering, or coating to impart specific characteristics. Techniques like galvanization, where the steel is coated with a layer of zinc, can improve its corrosion resistance. Electrical steel, a subcategory within this code, may also undergo specialized processes to enhance its magnetic properties, making it suitable for use in transformers, motors, and other electrical equipment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the flat-rolled steel products under cpc code 4123 include high-quality steel billets or slabs, which serve as the primary raw material. Specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and coating lines, are essential for the various processing steps. Additionally, inputs like zinc, silicon, and other alloying elements may be required, depending on the specific product being manufactured.

Production outputs

The flat-rolled steel products covered under cpc code 4123 are used in a wide range of applications, including the manufacturing of 4122 Flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, 4121 Flat-rolled products of steel, not further worked than cold-rolled, and 4124 Flat-rolled products of steel, plated or coated. These materials are crucial components in the construction, automotive, machinery, and electrical equipment industries, among others.
