Base metals or silver, clad with gold, not further worked than semi-manufactured
CPC v2.1 Code: 4134
About base metals or silver, clad with gold, not further worked than semi-manufactured
cpc code 4134 covers the production and processing of base metals or silver that are clad with gold, but not further worked than semi-manufactured. This industry plays a crucial role in the jewelry, electronics, and decorative arts sectors, providing the raw materials necessary for the creation of a wide range of high-value products. As a key component of the broader precious metals industry, the 4134 classification is an important contributor to the global economy, facilitating international trade and supporting the development of innovative technologies.
Production process
The production of base metals or silver clad with gold typically involves a process known as cladding. This technique involves bonding a thin layer of gold to the surface of a base metal or silver substrate, creating a durable and visually appealing material. The cladding process may involve techniques such as rolling, plating, or electroplating, depending on the specific requirements of the final product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of base metals or silver clad with gold include the raw base metals or silver, as well as the gold used for the cladding process. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, plating tanks, and precision cutting tools, are necessary to ensure the accurate and consistent production of these semi-manufactured materials. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and manufacturing processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 4134 industry are semi-manufactured base metals or silver products that are clad with gold. These materials are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries, including 7113 Manufacture of jewelry and related articles, 2611 Manufacture of electronic components, and 3212 Manufacture of articles for technical and decorative use. The clad materials produced under this classification code are used in the creation of a wide range of products, from high-end jewelry and luxury goods to electronic components and decorative architectural elements.
