Angles, shapes and sections, cold-formed, cold-finished or further worked, of iron or non-alloy steel

CPC v2.1 Code: 41262

About angles, shapes and sections, cold-formed, cold-finished or further worked, of iron or non-alloy steel

cpc code 41262 covers the production and trade of angles, shapes, and sections made from cold-formed, cold-finished, or further worked iron or non-alloy steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors, providing essential building materials and components that support the broader economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve cold-forming and cold-finishing processes. Cold-forming techniques, such as rolling, pressing, and bending, are used to shape the steel into the desired angles, shapes, and sections without the application of heat. These cold-finished products may then undergo further processing, such as cutting, drilling, or surface treatment, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include raw steel, typically in the form of billets, sheets, or coils. Specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, presses, and cutting equipment, is also essential for the production of cold-formed steel products. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, energy resources, and transportation infrastructure to support the manufacturing and distribution of its outputs.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are a wide range of cold-formed, cold-finished, or further worked steel angles, shapes, and sections. These products are widely used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure, as well as in the manufacturing of machinery, equipment, and consumer goods. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by industries covered by other codes, such as 41261 Bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, of iron or non-alloy steel, 41263 Bars and rods, cold-formed or cold-finished, of iron or non-alloy steel, and 41264 Angles, shapes and sections, of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, among others.
