Feedstock for Corrugated Metal Pipes and Its Market Dynamics

The major raw material for corrugated metal pipe manufacturing is steel coil. The process may also require zinc for galvanising.

• Steel Coil: Steel coils are a form of finished steel produced from raw materials such as iron ore and coke in a blast furnace. The price of steel coils is a major variable raw material cost for corrugated metal pipe manufacturing. It is influenced by global steel prices, which are affected by the cost of iron ore, coal, and electricity, as well as global demand.
• Zinc: Zinc is a metal extracted from zinc sulfide ores through mining, concentrating, and refining. Zinc is used in the galvanising process to provide a protective coating. The price of zinc is influenced by global mining output, demand from galvanising (its largest end-use), and geopolitics.

• Logistics and distribution: Costs for transporting raw materials to the plant and distributing finished Corrugated Metal Pipes to customers.
   

Corrugated Metal Pipes Industrial Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for corrugated metal pipes manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial corrugated metal pipes manufacturing. The process outlines a multi-stage approach from raw materials to a finished product.

• Production from Steel Coils :  The manufacturing of corrugated metal pipes begins with unwinding high-quality steel coils, which are cold-formed into a circular shape using rollers. The edges of the corrugated strip are overlapped and joined by welding or riveting. The pipes are then cut to size, finished, and surface-treated to enhance corrosion resistance. Finally, the pipes go through quality inspection before packaging and shipment.
