Angles, shapes and sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, of iron or non-alloy steel

cpc code 41251 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing the production of angles, shapes, and sections made from iron or non-alloy steel. These basic steel products serve as essential building blocks for a wide range of industries, from construction and infrastructure to manufacturing and transportation. Their importance cannot be overstated, as they underpin the development and growth of many vital economic sectors.

The production of angles, shapes, and sections under cpc code 41251 primarily involves hot-rolling, hot-drawing, or extrusion processes. In hot-rolling, steel billets or slabs are fed into a series of rolling mills, where they are gradually shaped and reduced in thickness to create the desired profiles. Hot-drawing, on the other hand, involves pulling the steel through a die to achieve the required shape and dimensions. Extrusion is a process where the steel is forced through a die to produce the desired cross-sectional shape.

The main inputs required for the production of angles, shapes, and sections under cpc code 41251 include iron or non-alloy steel as the primary raw material. Manufacturers also rely on specialized rolling mills, drawing equipment, and extrusion machinery to shape the steel into the desired forms. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are essential for powering the production processes.

The primary outputs of cpc code 41251 are the angles, shapes, and sections of iron or non-alloy steel. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 41252 Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron or non-alloy steel, 41253 Other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling, and 41254 Angles, shapes and sections, of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded. These downstream industries utilize the angles, shapes, and sections for various applications, such as construction, machinery, and transportation equipment.
