Class 2432 - Casting of non-ferrous metals

Class 2432 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 24 MANUFACTURE OF BASIC METALS 'This division includes the activities of smelting and/or refining ferrous and non- ferrous metals from ore, pig or scrap, using electrometallurgic and other process metallurgic techniques. This division also includes the manufacture of metal alloys and super-alloys by introducing other chemical elements to pure metals. The output of smelting and refining, usually in ingot form, is used in rolling, drawing and extruding operations to make products, such as plate, sheet, strip, bars, rods, wire, tubes, pipes and hollow profiles, and in molten form to make castings and other basic metal products. > 243 Casting of metals. This class usually fans out into more specific subclasses such as Aluminum and Aluminum Base Alloy Casting, Copper and Copper Base Alloy (brass, Bronze) Casting, and Zinc and Zinc Alloy Casting. It is the level people use when they already know the activity family but still need the exact five-digit match.
