Casting of steel
NACE v2.0 Code: C24.52
About casting of steel
NACE code 24.52, 'Casting of steel', represents a crucial industry within the broader manufacturing sector. Steel casting is a fundamental process that transforms raw materials into a wide range of essential products, from construction materials to automotive components. This industry plays a vital role in supporting the growth and development of numerous other economic activities, making it an integral part of the global supply chain.
Production process
The casting of steel involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, including iron ore, coal, and various alloys, are melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. This molten steel is then poured into molds, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. The cast steel products are then subjected to various finishing processes, such as trimming, heat treatment, and surface finishing, to ensure they meet the required specifications and quality standards.
Production inputs
The casting of steel requires a range of inputs, including ferrous metals, such as iron ore and scrap steel, as well as various alloying elements like chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and casting machines, as well as a skilled workforce to operate these technologies effectively.
Production outputs
The casting of steel produces a diverse range of products, including structural components, machinery parts, and automotive parts, among others. These steel castings are then consumed by a variety of other industries, such as 25.11 Construction of metal structures and parts of structures, 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles, and 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines.
