Aluminium; powders of non-lamellar structure

HS code 760310 covers the classification of aluminium powders with a non-lamellar structure. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader aluminium manufacturing sector, which is a vital component of the global metals and mining economy. Aluminium powders find diverse applications across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, and electronics, making them an essential material in modern manufacturing and infrastructure development.

Aluminium powders of non-lamellar structure are typically produced through mechanical milling or atomization processes. In the mechanical milling method, solid aluminium is subjected to high-energy grinding or shearing forces, which break down the material into fine powder particles. Alternatively, the atomization process involves melting aluminium and then rapidly cooling the molten metal, causing it to solidify into small, irregularly shaped powder particles.

The primary raw material required for the production of HS code 760310 aluminium powders is pure aluminium metal. Manufacturers may also utilize various alloying elements, such as 760110 Aluminium; not alloyed, unwrought or 760120 Aluminium; alloyed, unwrought, to achieve specific properties in the final powder product. Additionally, specialized milling or atomization equipment, as well as energy sources, are essential inputs for the manufacturing process.

The primary output of HS code 760310 is aluminium powder with a non-lamellar structure. These powders find widespread use in various industries, including 760410 Aluminium; bars, rods and profiles, not alloyed, 760511 Aluminium; wire, not alloyed, and 760611 Aluminium; plates, sheets and strip, not alloyed, where they serve as raw materials for further processing and fabrication.
