Nickel; tubes and pipes, not alloyed
HS v2017 Code: 750711
About nickel; tubes and pipes, not alloyed
HS code 750711 covers the trade of nickel tubes and pipes that are not alloyed with other metals. Nickel is a vital industrial metal with a wide range of applications, from stainless steel production to electroplating and battery manufacturing. The global nickel industry plays a crucial role in supporting various downstream sectors, contributing significantly to the overall economy.
Production process
Nickel tubes and pipes are typically produced through a process known as extrusion. In this method, a solid nickel billet is heated and then forced through a die to create the desired shape and size of the tube or pipe. The extruded product may then undergo additional processing, such as drawing or rolling, to achieve the final specifications required by the customer.
Production inputs
The primary input for the production of nickel tubes and pipes is, of course, nickel. Nickel is typically mined from nickel-bearing ores and then refined to produce pure nickel metal. Other key inputs include specialized machinery and equipment for the extrusion and post-processing of the nickel tubes and pipes, as well as energy sources to power the manufacturing facilities.
Production outputs
The nickel tubes and pipes produced under HS code 750711 are used in a wide range of applications, including 750810 Nickel; tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings, 732599 Other articles of iron or steel, not cast, and 841940 Distilling or rectifying plant. These nickel products are valued for their corrosion resistance, strength, and thermal conductivity, making them essential components in various industries, such as chemical processing, power generation, and aerospace.
