Australia Market Research and Industry Report
15 January 2007
Industry Code : C2712
Firms in this industry are mainly engaged in iron and/or steel casting and forging. Casting and forging are two quite distinct processes. The manufacture of cast iron and steel products involves melting the metal to be used, pouring it into a mould, letting it cool and then knocking out the casting. Forging involves the use of machinery with a hammering or pressing action to convert iron or steel bars or other basic shapes into a pre-determined form. Most forged shapes are subsequently machined to yield the final product.
The major products and services in this industry are:
| - | Steel Castings |
| - | Iron and Steel forging |
| - | Other iron castings |
| - | Cast Iron Pipes |
| - | Other products/services such as pattern making for ferrous casting | |
The primary activities of this industry are:
| - | Castings, iron Castings, steel Chain, cast steel Chain, forged steel Conduit tubing, welded steel Die-castings, steel Direct castings, iron Direct castings, steel Forgings, iron or steel Horse shoes |
