About refined copper and copper alloys, unwrought; master alloys of copper
cpc code 41413 covers the production and trade of refined copper and copper alloys in unwrought form, as well as master alloys of copper. This industry plays a vital role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of industries, from construction and electronics to transportation and renewable energy. As a highly versatile and conductive metal, copper is in high demand worldwide, making this industry a significant contributor to international trade and economic development.
Production process
The production of refined copper and copper alloys typically involves a multi-step process. First, copper ore is extracted from mines and then processed through smelting and refining techniques to produce pure copper. This pure copper can then be alloyed with other metals, such as zinc or tin, to create a variety of copper alloys with unique properties. Master alloys, which are concentrated mixtures of copper and other metals, are also produced to serve as the building blocks for more complex copper-based alloys.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of refined copper and copper alloys include copper ore, various alloying metals (e.g., zinc, tin, nickel), energy sources for smelting and refining, and specialized equipment such as furnaces, casting molds, and rolling mills. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, engineering, and production processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of cpc code 41413 are refined copper, copper alloys, and master alloys. These materials are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 41414 Copper and copper alloy bars, rods and profiles, 41415 Copper and copper alloy wire, 41416 Copper and copper alloy plates, sheets and strip, and 41417 Copper and copper alloy tubes and pipes. The versatility of copper and its alloys makes them essential components in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment, construction materials, transportation vehicles, and various industrial applications.
