About angles, shapes and sections, of alloy steel
cpc code 41266 covers the production and trade of angles, shapes, and sections made from alloy steel. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of applications. Alloy steel, with its enhanced properties such as increased strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, is highly sought after in industries like automotive, aerospace, and infrastructure development.
Production process
The production of angles, shapes, and sections of alloy steel typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including alloying elements and steel billets, are melted in an electric arc furnace or basic oxygen furnace. The molten steel is then cast into ingots or continuously cast into slabs or blooms. These semi-finished products are then subjected to various hot-rolling or forging processes to shape them into the desired angles, shapes, and sections.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of angles, shapes, and sections of alloy steel include high-quality steel scrap, alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, as well as specialized rolling and forging equipment. The production process also requires significant energy inputs, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the furnaces and rolling mills.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are a wide range of angles, shapes, and sections made from alloy steel, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These products are commonly used in the manufacture of 41271 Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of alloy steel, 41272 Bars and rods, of alloy steel, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, and 41273 Other bars and rods, of alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, of alloy steel; hollow drill bars and rods, of alloy or non-alloy steel, among other applications.
