Cold forming or folding
NACE v2.0 Code: C24.33
About cold forming or folding
NACE code 24.33 covers the cold forming or folding of metal, a crucial process within the broader metal manufacturing industry. This specialized technique is used to shape metal into various products and components without the application of heat, making it an energy-efficient and cost-effective method of production. The cold forming and folding industry plays a vital role in the supply chain, providing essential parts and materials to a wide range of downstream industries, from automotive to construction.
Production process
The cold forming or folding process involves the use of specialized machinery and tools to reshape metal, such as sheets, bars, or tubes, into the desired form without heating the material. This is typically achieved through the application of compressive forces, bending, or stamping, which permanently deform the metal into the target shape. The specific techniques employed can vary depending on the complexity of the final product, the type of metal being used, and the production volume requirements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the cold forming or folding industry include raw metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, or other alloys, as well as specialized machinery and tooling. These tools can range from simple hand-operated presses to highly automated, computer-controlled equipment capable of producing complex shapes and geometries. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled workers to operate the machinery and ensure the quality and precision of the final products.
Production outputs
The cold forming or folding industry produces a wide range of metal components and parts that are used in various downstream industries. These outputs can include structural elements, automotive parts, household appliances, and a variety of other products. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by manufacturers classified under 25.11 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 29.32 Manufacture of other parts and accessories for motor vehicles, and 27.51 Manufacture of electric domestic appliances.
