What 24 includes

• This division encompasses the smelting and refining of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from ores, pig iron, scrap metal, or scrap metal, using electrometallurgical and other metallurgical processes.
• This division also includes the manufacture of metal alloys and superalloys by incorporating other chemical elements into pure metals. The result of smelting and refining, generally in the form of ingots, is used in rolling, drawing, and extrusion operations to produce, for example, plates, sheets, strips, bars, rods, or wire, or tubes, pipes, hollow profiles, and other basic metal products, and, in molten form, to manufacture castings.
