33211 - Forging and stamping

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in shaping hot metal by forging to produce a part near its final size and shape; or pressing and cutting sheet metal stock to form stampings. These establishments generally operate on a job or order basis, manufacturing metal stampings or forgings for sale to others or for inter-plant transfer. These establishments may surface-finish the forgings and stampings produced, by such activities as deburring and grinding, but they do not further process them.

• Exclusion(s)

  • making forgings or stampings, and then further processing them, for example by machining (classified according to the particular product or process)

332113 - Forging^CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in hot forming metal using hammers or presses to forge parts. The forging process involves the use of dies to draw out or increase the length of a part, squeezing the part to reduce its length and increase its cross section, or piercing the part to create a cavity. Forging techniques include hammer, drop, press, upset, roll and hydraulic forging. These establishments may surface-finish the forgings produced, by such activities as deburring and grinding, but they do not further process them.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • cold forgings, unfinished, made from purchased iron or steel
  • engine and turbine forgings, unfinished, made from purchased metal
  • forgings, ferrous, unfinished, made from purchased non-ferrous metal
  • hammer forgings, unfinished, made from purchased metal
  • hot forgings, unfinished, made from purchased metal
  • iron forgings, unfinished, made from purchased iron

  All examples

332118 - Stamping^CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in using a press to form and cut sheet-metal stock in one or a series of operations. The operations can be done in a single press closing with a mated die, or with several press closings and multiple dies. The part involved may have holes, slots, notches or features formed in it and be cut to size and deburred, but is otherwise essentially completed by the stamping operation. Establishments primarily engaged in custom roll-forming, using the rotary motion of rolls with various profiles to bend metal, are included.

• Illustrative example(s)

  • bottle caps and tops, metal, stamping
  • closures, metal, stamping
  • custom roll forming of metal products
  • gutters and down spouts, sheet metal, roll formed, manufacturing
  • lids, jar, metal, stamping
  • powder metallurgy products, manufactured on a job or order basis
  • spinning unfinished metal products
  • stampings (except automotive, cans, coins), metal, unfinished, manufacturing

  All examples

• Exclusion(s)

  • manufacturing motor vehicle stampings (See 336370 Motor vehicle metal stamping)
