About bars, rods and profiles, of copper
cpc code 41512 covers the production of copper bars, rods, and profiles, which are essential components in a wide range of industries. Copper is a highly versatile and conductive metal, making it a crucial material for electrical wiring, plumbing, and various manufacturing applications. The copper bars, rods, and profiles industry plays a vital role in supporting the broader economy by providing essential raw materials for numerous downstream sectors.
Production process
The production of copper bars, rods, and profiles typically involves a multi-step process. First, copper ore is extracted and refined to produce pure copper. The refined copper is then melted and cast into the desired shapes, such as bars or rods, using techniques like continuous casting or extrusion. These semi-finished products may then undergo further processing, such as drawing or rolling, to achieve the final dimensions and profiles required by customers.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of copper bars, rods, and profiles include refined copper, as well as various machinery and equipment used in the casting, extrusion, and finishing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the production facilities. The industry also relies on skilled labor, including metallurgists, engineers, and technicians, to operate the production equipment and ensure quality control.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the copper bars, rods, and profiles industry are the various copper products that are then consumed by other industries. These include 41513 Copper wire, 41514 Copper plates, sheets and strip, of a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm, and 41515 (Copper foil (whether or not printed or backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials) of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.15 mm), among others. These copper products are widely used in the construction, electrical, and manufacturing sectors, as well as in the production of consumer goods.
