About plates, sheet, strip and foil, of nickel
cpc code 41523 covers the production of nickel plates, sheets, strips, and foils. Nickel is a versatile and durable metal with a wide range of industrial applications, making this industry an important component of the broader metal manufacturing sector. Nickel-based products are used in various industries, including construction, transportation, and electronics, contributing to the overall economic activity.
Production process
The production of nickel plates, sheets, strips, and foils typically involves a series of metalworking processes. These may include casting, rolling, and annealing to shape and refine the nickel material into the desired forms. Advanced techniques like electroplating or vapor deposition may also be employed to create specialized nickel-based products.
Production inputs
The main inputs for this industry include raw nickel, as well as various alloying elements and processing equipment. Nickel is primarily sourced from mining operations, while alloying elements like chromium, iron, or copper may be added to modify the material's properties. Specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, annealing furnaces, and cutting tools, are also essential for the production of nickel-based products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are nickel plates, sheets, strips, and foils, which are then consumed by a range of downstream industries. These nickel-based products may be used in the manufacture of 41524 Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, of nickel, 41525 Nickel powders and flakes, or 41529 Other articles of nickel, n.e.c., among other applications. The versatility of nickel makes this industry an important supplier to various sectors, including construction, transportation, and electronics.
