Nickel; wire, not alloyed
HS v2017 Code: 750521
About nickel; wire, not alloyed
HS code 750521 covers the classification of nickel wire that is not alloyed with other metals. Nickel is a versatile and durable metal with a wide range of industrial applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. The production and trade of nickel wire plays a crucial role in supporting various manufacturing and construction industries worldwide.
Production process
Nickel wire is typically produced through a process known as wire drawing. In this method, a nickel rod or bar is repeatedly pulled through a series of progressively smaller dies, reducing its diameter and increasing its length to create the desired wire. The wire may also undergo additional processing steps, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its properties and performance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of nickel wire under HS code 750521 include high-purity nickel as the primary raw material, as well as specialized wire drawing equipment and machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production process. Additionally, various lubricants and coolants may be used to facilitate the wire drawing operation.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 750521 is nickel wire, which can be used in a variety of applications. This wire may be consumed by industries such as 731210 Springs of iron or steel, 731300 Barbed wire of iron or steel; twisted hoop or single flat wire, barbed or not, and loosely twisted double wire, of a kind used for fencing, of iron or steel, and 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, where its corrosion resistance, strength, and electrical conductivity properties are valued.
