Ferro-alloys; ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium

HS v2017 Code: 720291

About ferro-alloys; ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium

HS code 720291 covers ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium, which are important ferro-alloys used in the production of various steel and iron products. These alloys play a crucial role in the metallurgical industry, enhancing the properties of the final products and enabling the manufacture of specialized materials for a wide range of applications, from construction and transportation to aerospace and defense.

Production process

Ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium are typically produced through the reduction of titanium-bearing ores or concentrates, such as ilmenite or rutile, in an electric arc furnace or a blast furnace. The process involves the smelting of the raw materials with a reducing agent, such as coke or charcoal, to extract the titanium and silicon content and produce the desired ferro-alloy composition.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium include titanium-bearing ores or concentrates, reducing agents (e.g., coke, charcoal), and various fluxing agents to facilitate the smelting process. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as electric arc furnaces or blast furnaces, as well as skilled labor, are essential for the efficient and safe production of these ferro-alloys.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 720291 are ferro-titanium and ferro-silico-titanium, which are then consumed by various industries, including 720210 Ferro-manganese, 720221 Ferro-silicon, and 720260 Ferro-nickel, among others. These ferro-alloys are used to enhance the properties of steel and iron products, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance, making them essential for a wide range of applications, including construction, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
