Description

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in smelting iron ore and steel scrap to produce pig iron in molten or solid form; converting pig iron into steel by the removal, through combustion in furnaces, of the carbon in the iron.

What 331110 includes

• Producing iron and steel basic shapes, such as plates, sheets, strips, rods and bars, and other fabricated products or casting ingots only
• Operation of electric arc furnace mini-mills
• Producing ferro-alloys
• Producing iron and steel basic shapes, such as plates, sheets, strips, rods and bars, and other fabricated products or casting ingots only

What 331110 excludes

• Manufacturing iron and steel basic shapes by cold-rolling purchased metal, or drawing wire from purchased bars, rod or wire (see 33122 rolling and drawing of purchased steel)
• Manufacturing iron and steel pipe and tube, from purchased metal (see 331210 iron and steel pipes and tubes manufacturing from purchased steel)
• Operating coke ovens (see 324190 other petroleum and coal product manufacturing (can))
