Cold drawing of bars
NACE v2.0 Code: C24.31
About cold drawing of bars
NACE code 24.31 covers the cold drawing of bars, a critical process in the metalworking industry. This activity involves the transformation of steel or other metal bars through a process of cold working, where the metal is drawn through a die to reduce its cross-sectional area and improve its mechanical properties. The cold drawing of bars is an essential step in the production of a wide range of metal products, from automotive components to construction materials, making it a vital part of the broader manufacturing ecosystem.
Production process
The cold drawing of bars typically involves several key steps. First, the raw metal bars are cut to the desired length. They are then passed through a series of dies, which gradually reduce the cross-sectional area of the bars by applying compressive and tensile forces. This process work-hardens the metal, increasing its strength and durability. The drawn bars may also undergo additional heat treatment or surface finishing processes to further enhance their properties.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the cold drawing of bars industry include raw metal bars, typically made of steel or other alloys. Specialized drawing dies and machinery, such as drawing benches and coiling equipment, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, lubricants and coolants are used to facilitate the drawing operation and prevent excessive wear on the equipment.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the cold drawing of bars industry are the drawn metal bars, which can be used in a variety of downstream applications. These bars may be further processed or incorporated into the production of 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, or 25.93 Manufacture of wire products, chain and springs, among other NACE code industries.
