Semi-finished products of copper or copper alloys

CPC v2.1 Code: 4151

About semi-finished products of copper or copper alloys

cpc code 4151 covers the production of semi-finished products of copper or copper alloys. These materials play a crucial role in a wide range of industries, from construction and electrical engineering to automotive and consumer electronics. As a versatile and highly conductive metal, copper and its alloys are essential for the manufacture of a variety of components, wires, and other products that support the global economy.

Production process

The production of semi-finished copper and copper alloy products typically involves a series of metalworking processes, such as casting, rolling, drawing, and extrusion. These techniques allow manufacturers to shape the raw copper or copper alloy into the desired forms, including sheets, bars, tubes, and wires, which can then be further processed or incorporated into final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of semi-finished copper and copper alloy products include refined copper, alloying elements (such as zinc, tin, or nickel), and various types of machinery and equipment used for metalworking processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The semi-finished copper and copper alloy products covered by cpc code 4151 are used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These include the manufacture of 4152 Copper wire, cable, and related products, 4153 Copper plates, sheets, and strips, and 4154 Copper tubes and pipes, as well as the production of various electrical and electronic components, construction materials, and other industrial and consumer goods.
