About plates, sheets and strip, of copper, of a thickness exceeding 0.15 mm

cpc code 41514 covers the production and trade of copper plates, sheets, and strips that exceed 0.15 mm in thickness. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader metal manufacturing and fabrication sectors, supplying essential raw materials for a wide range of applications across various industries. From construction and infrastructure to electronics and transportation, the products covered under this code are fundamental building blocks that enable the development and advancement of modern economies.

Production process

The production of copper plates, sheets, and strips typically involves a series of metalworking processes. The raw copper material is first cast into ingots or billets, which are then subjected to hot or cold rolling techniques to reduce the thickness and achieve the desired dimensions. Annealing and other heat treatment processes may be employed to enhance the material's properties and workability. Precision cutting, trimming, and finishing operations are then carried out to ensure the final products meet the required specifications and quality standards.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is refined copper, which is sourced from copper mining and smelting operations. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and cutting tools. Energy, labor, and various ancillary materials, such as lubricants and coolants, are also essential inputs for the efficient and sustainable operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are copper plates, sheets, and strips that are used in a wide range of applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 41515 Copper wire, 41516 Copper tubes and pipes, and 41517 Copper and copper alloy bars, rods and profiles, which further process and incorporate them into their own products. The copper plates, sheets, and strips may also be used in the manufacturing of electrical components, construction materials, and various industrial and consumer goods.
