About tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, cadmium, titanium, zirconium, beryllium, gallium, hafnium, indium, niobium, rhenium and thallium, germanium and vanadium, wrought, and articles thereof; powders of magnesium

cpc code 41602 encompasses a diverse range of metals and their wrought articles, including tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, cadmium, titanium, zirconium, beryllium, gallium, hafnium, indium, niobium, rhenium, thallium, germanium, and vanadium. These metals and their alloys are essential materials in various industries, from aerospace and electronics to construction and renewable energy. Their unique properties, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity, make them indispensable in the production of a wide range of products.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under cpc code 41602 typically involves a combination of mining, smelting, and metallurgical processing techniques. Metals like tungsten, molybdenum, and tantalum are often extracted from ores through a series of crushing, grinding, and chemical separation processes. Magnesium, on the other hand, is commonly produced by electrolytic reduction of magnesium oxide or through the thermal reduction of magnesium compounds. The wrought articles and powders are then manufactured using various metalworking techniques, such as rolling, forging, and powder metallurgy.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials under cpc code 41602 include the respective metal ores, such as wolframite for tungsten, molybdenite for molybdenum, and tantalite for tantalum. Additionally, the production process requires various types of machinery, including crushers, mills, furnaces, and specialized metalworking equipment. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the smelting and processing of these metals.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industries covered under cpc code 41602 are diverse and find applications in a wide range of sectors. The wrought metals and their articles are used in the production of 41603 Tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, magnesium, cobalt, cadmium, titanium, zirconium, beryllium, gallium, hafnium, indium, niobium, rhenium and thallium, germanium and vanadium, unwrought; waste and scrap, which are then further processed and incorporated into various end-products. These metals and their alloys are commonly used in the manufacture of 41701 Machinery and mechanical appliances, 41702 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, and 41703 Vehicles, aircraft, vessels and associated transport equipment, among other industries.
