Metals; rhodium, semi-manufactured

HS v2017 Code: 711039

About metals; rhodium, semi-manufactured

HS code 711039 covers the semi-manufactured forms of rhodium, a rare and valuable precious metal. Rhodium is primarily used in the automotive industry for catalytic converters, as well as in the production of electrical contacts, jewelry, and laboratory equipment. As a highly corrosion-resistant and reflective metal, rhodium plays a crucial role in various industrial and technological applications, contributing to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of semi-manufactured rhodium typically involves several key steps. First, rhodium is extracted from primary ores or recycled materials through a series of chemical and metallurgical processes. The extracted rhodium is then refined and alloyed with other metals, if necessary, to achieve the desired purity and properties. Finally, the refined rhodium is shaped into various semi-manufactured forms, such as sheets, bars, or wires, through techniques like rolling, drawing, or casting.

Production inputs

The production of semi-manufactured rhodium requires several key inputs, including primary rhodium ores, recycled rhodium-containing materials, and various chemicals and equipment for the refining and alloying processes. Additionally, specialized machinery and tools are needed to shape the refined rhodium into the desired semi-manufactured forms.

Production outputs

The semi-manufactured rhodium produced under HS code 711039 is primarily consumed by industries that require the unique properties of rhodium, such as the 870323 motor vehicle industry, the 851790 electrical and electronics industry, and the 711311 jewelry industry. These industries utilize rhodium in a wide range of applications, including catalytic converters, electrical contacts, and decorative coatings.
