331492 Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum)
Overview
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) alloying purchased nonferrous metals and/or (2) recovering nonferrous metals from scrap. Establishments in this industry make primary forms (e.g., bar, billet, bloom, cake, ingot, slab, slug, wire) using smelting or refining processes.
