Semi-finished products of aluminium or aluminium alloys

CPC v2.1 Code: 4153

About semi-finished products of aluminium or aluminium alloys

cpc code 4153 covers the production of semi-finished products of aluminium or aluminium alloys. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader metal manufacturing sector, providing essential raw materials and components for a wide range of industries, including construction, transportation, and consumer goods. The production of these semi-finished aluminium products is a key part of the global supply chain, enabling the development of innovative and high-performance products across multiple sectors.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve the melting, casting, and rolling of aluminium or aluminium alloys. Molten aluminium is poured into molds or extruded through dies to create a variety of semi-finished products, such as sheets, plates, bars, and profiles. These products are then subjected to various heat treatment and finishing processes to enhance their mechanical properties and surface characteristics, ensuring they meet the specific requirements of their intended applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are raw aluminium, alloying elements (such as copper, magnesium, and silicon), and energy sources (such as electricity and natural gas) to power the melting and casting processes. Additionally, specialized machinery, including furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are essential for the efficient production of these semi-finished aluminium products.

Production outputs

The semi-finished products of aluminium or aluminium alloys produced under cpc code 4153 are used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These products may be further processed or fabricated into a variety of end-use items, such as 4154 Aluminium plates, sheets, strips and foil, 4155 Aluminium tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings, and 4159 Other articles of aluminium, which are covered by other cpc codes.
