Next, we will detail the types of establishments that are grouped under the NAICS code 331529 and their classification in the system. This specific code refers to various activities in the field of manufacturing metal-related products, and it is important to know its scope and associated categories.
Description NAICS Code 331529 – Other Nonferrous Metal Foundries (except Die-Casting)
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in pouring molten nonferrous metals (except aluminum) into molds to manufacture nonferrous castings (except nonferrous die-castings and aluminum castings).
Establishments in this industry purchase nonferrous metals, such as copper, nickel, lead, and zinc, made in other establishments.
NAICS code 331529 includes:
- Beryllium castings (except die-castings), unfinished manufacturing
- Brass foundries (except die-casting)
- Bronze foundries (except die-casting)
- Castings (except die-castings), nonferrous metals (except aluminum), unfinished, manufacturing
- Copper alloy castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- Copper foundries (except die-casting)
- Foundries (except die-casting), nonferrous metals (except aluminum)
- Investment castings, nonferrous metal (except aluminum), unfinished, manufacturing
- Lead castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- Magnesium castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- Nickel castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- Nonferrous metals (except aluminum) foundries (except die-casting)
- Nonferrous metals (except aluminum) unfinished castings (except die-castings) manufacturing
- Permanent mold castings, nonferrous metal (except aluminum), unfinished, manufacturing
- Sand castings, nonferrous metals (except aluminum), unfinished, manufacturing
- Ship and boat propellers, cast brass, bronze and copper (except die-casting), unfinished, manufacturing
- Titanium castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- White metal castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
- Zinc castings (except die-castings), unfinished, manufacturing
NAICS Code 331529 does not include the following references:
- Manufacturing nonferrous die-castings–are classified in U.S. Industry 331523, Nonferrous Metal Die-Casting Foundries;
- Pouring molten aluminum into molds to manufacture aluminum castings–are classified in U.S. Industry 331524, Aluminum Foundries (except Die-Casting); and
- Manufacturing nonferrous castings and further manufacturing them into finished products–are classified based on the specific finished product.
