Base metals clad with silver, and base metals, silver or gold clad with platinum, not further worked than semi-manufactured

cpc code 41350 covers a range of semi-manufactured products that involve the cladding of base metals with silver, or the cladding of base metals, silver, or gold with platinum. These materials have a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, playing a crucial role in various sectors of the global economy, from electronics and jewelry to aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

The production of the materials described under cpc code 41350 typically involves a process known as cladding. This process involves bonding two or more metal layers together, with one metal serving as the core and the other(s) as the cladding. The cladding can be applied using techniques such as roll bonding, explosion bonding, or electroplating, depending on the specific requirements of the final product.

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under cpc code 41350 include base metals (such as copper, aluminum, or steel), as well as silver and platinum. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, cladding presses, and plating tanks, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

The materials produced under cpc code 41350 are used in a wide range of applications, including 71320 Precious metal jewellery, 85110 Electronic components, 86100 Aircraft and spacecraft, and 87290 Other fabricated metal products. These semi-manufactured products can be further processed and incorporated into a variety of finished goods, making them an important input for many other industries.
