Nickel; bars, rods and profiles, of nickel alloys

HS v2017 Code: 750512

About nickel; bars, rods and profiles, of nickel alloys

HS code 750512 covers the import and export of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles. Nickel alloys are widely used in various industries due to their unique properties, such as corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential materials for applications ranging from aerospace and automotive to electronics and chemical processing.

Production process

The production of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw materials, including nickel and other alloying elements, are melted and cast into ingots or billets. These are then subjected to various hot and cold working processes, such as rolling, drawing, or extrusion, to shape the material into the desired form. The final products may undergo additional heat treatment or surface finishing to enhance their properties and meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles include nickel, as well as other alloying elements such as chromium, iron, and copper. Specialized equipment, such as melting furnaces, rolling mills, and drawing machines, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 750512 are nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These products may be used in the manufacture of 750610 Nickel; plates, sheets, strip and foil, 848210 Ball or roller bearings, or 841950 Heat exchange units, among other applications. The versatility of nickel alloys makes them valuable in a wide range of industries, from aerospace and automotive to chemical processing and energy production.
