Bars, rods and profiles, of aluminium

CPC v2.1 Code: 41532

About bars, rods and profiles, of aluminium

cpc code 41532 covers the production of bars, rods, and profiles made from aluminium. Aluminium is a versatile and lightweight metal with a wide range of applications across various industries, making this code an important part of the broader manufacturing and construction sectors. The aluminium products described by this code are essential raw materials used in the fabrication of a diverse array of end-products, from building components to transportation equipment.

Production process

The production of aluminium bars, rods, and profiles typically involves a combination of casting, rolling, and extrusion processes. Molten aluminium is first cast into ingots or billets, which are then subjected to hot or cold rolling to achieve the desired shape and dimensions. Extrusion is another common technique, where the aluminium is forced through a die to create the desired cross-sectional profile.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include aluminium raw materials, such as aluminium alloy ingots or scrap, as well as specialized machinery for casting, rolling, and extrusion. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the various production processes. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor to operate the equipment and ensure quality control.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are aluminium bars, rods, and profiles, which are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries. These products may be used in the manufacture of 41533 Aluminium plates, sheets and strip, 41534 Aluminium foil, 41535 Aluminium tubes and pipes, and various other aluminium-based components and structures, such as those found in the construction, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
