Forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal; powder metallurgy

NACE v2.0 Code: C25.5

About forging, pressing, stamping and roll-forming of metal; powder metallurgy

NACE code 25.5 covers a critical segment of the metal manufacturing industry, encompassing the forging, pressing, stamping, and roll-forming of metal, as well as powder metallurgy. These processes play a vital role in transforming raw metal into a wide range of intermediate and finished products that are essential for numerous industries, from automotive and aerospace to construction and consumer goods. The importance of this industry lies in its ability to shape and form metals into highly specialized components, enabling the production of complex and high-performance parts that are integral to the global economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry include forging, pressing, stamping, and roll-forming. Forging involves the use of compressive forces to shape metal into desired forms, often resulting in parts with enhanced strength and durability. Pressing and stamping utilize dies and molds to punch or stamp metal into specific shapes, while roll-forming involves passing metal through a series of rollers to create continuous, uniform profiles. Powder metallurgy is another key technique, where metal powders are compacted and sintered to produce near-net-shape components with precise dimensions and properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for this industry include various types of metal, such as steel, aluminum, and copper, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the forging, pressing, stamping, and roll-forming processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining the complex machinery, as well as designing and engineering the production processes.

Production outputs

The outputs of this industry are a diverse range of metal components and products, including automotive parts, aerospace components, construction materials, and consumer goods. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, such as 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 30.3 Manufacture of air and spacecraft and related machinery, and 41.2 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings.
