About non-ferrous metal casting services

cpc code 8932 covers the industry of non-ferrous metal casting services, which plays a vital role in the broader manufacturing and construction sectors. This industry is responsible for producing a wide range of metal components, parts, and products through various casting techniques. These non-ferrous metal castings are essential inputs for a diverse range of industries, contributing to the development of machinery, transportation equipment, and various consumer goods.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the non-ferrous metal casting industry include sand casting, investment casting, and die casting. Sand casting involves pouring molten metal into a sand mold, while investment casting, also known as the 'lost-wax' process, uses a wax pattern to create a ceramic mold. Die casting, on the other hand, utilizes reusable metal molds to produce high-volume, precision components.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for non-ferrous metal casting services include raw materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. Specialized casting equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and casting machines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, skilled labor, including foundry workers, metallurgists, and engineers, are crucial for the successful operation of this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the non-ferrous metal casting industry are a diverse range of metal components, parts, and products. These castings are used as inputs for various other industries, including 3711 Motor vehicle manufacturing, 3312 Iron and steel mills and ferroalloy manufacturing, and 3331 Agriculture, construction, and mining machinery manufacturing. The non-ferrous metal castings produced in this industry are essential for the manufacturing of a wide array of goods, from automotive parts to industrial equipment.
