What 24 includes

• The smelting and/or extraction of iron and non-ferrous metals from ores, billets, smelting stock, or scrap/unusable materials using electrometallurgical techniques and other metallurgical processes, including the production of alloys and specialty alloys by adding other chemical elements to pure metals. The products of smelting and extraction are generally in the form of ingots which are used in rolling, drawing, and extrusion processes to produce products in the form of sheets, plates, strips, rods, wires, tubes, pipes, and hollow profiles, and are used in melting processes to produce cast metals and other basic metal products.
