Treatment and coating of metals; machining

NACE v2.0 Code: C25.6

About treatment and coating of metals; machining

NACE code 25.6, 'Treatment and coating of metals; machining', represents a critical industry within the broader manufacturing sector. This industry is responsible for a wide range of surface finishing and metalworking processes that enhance the properties and appearance of metal products. Its importance lies in its ability to add value to raw materials, improving the durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal of a diverse range of end-products across various industries.

Production process

The key production techniques used in this industry include electroplating, anodizing, painting, and other coating processes. These methods are employed to apply protective or decorative layers onto metal surfaces. Additionally, the industry utilizes various machining operations, such as turning, milling, and grinding, to shape and finish metal components to precise specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include raw metal materials, such as 24.1 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, 24.4 Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, and 25.1 Manufacture of structural metal products. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized chemicals, paints, and other coating materials, as well as a range of machinery and equipment for the various metalworking and finishing processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are treated and coated metal products, as well as machined metal components. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 28.1 Manufacture of general-purpose machinery, and 33.1 Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment.
