About other fabricated metal product manufacturing and metal treatment services

cpc code 8873, 'Other fabricated metal product manufacturing and metal treatment services,' encompasses a diverse range of activities that play a crucial role in the broader manufacturing and construction industries. This sector is responsible for the production of a wide array of metal products, from simple hardware to complex industrial components, as well as the provision of specialized metal treatment services that enhance the durability and performance of these items.

Production process

The production techniques utilized in this industry vary depending on the specific metal products being manufactured. Common methods include stamping, casting, forging, welding, and machining. These processes transform raw metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, or copper, into finished goods through a series of shaping, joining, and finishing steps. Metal treatment services, on the other hand, often involve processes like heat treating, plating, or coating to improve the physical and chemical properties of the metal components.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for this industry include a variety of metal raw materials, such as sheets, bars, and castings, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the various manufacturing and treatment processes. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, energy resources, and a range of consumable supplies, such as welding gases, cutting fluids, and protective coatings.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry encompass a wide array of fabricated metal products, including 3324 Boiler, tank, and shipping container manufacturing, 3327 Machine shops; turned product; and screw, nut, and bolt manufacturing, and 3328 Coating, engraving, heat treating, and allied activities. These products are then utilized by various downstream industries, such as 2361 Residential building construction, 3331 Agriculture, construction, and mining machinery manufacturing, and 3361 Motor vehicle manufacturing.
