HS v2017 Code: 760421

About aluminium; alloys, hollow profiles

HS code 760421 covers the trade of aluminium alloy hollow profiles, which are widely used in various industries due to their lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, and versatility. These products play a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, contributing to the development of infrastructure, transportation, and consumer goods. As a key component of the aluminium industry, the trade of hollow profiles is an important economic activity that supports numerous downstream applications and industries.

Production process

Aluminium alloy hollow profiles are typically produced through extrusion, a process where aluminium alloy billets are forced through a die to create the desired shape and profile. The extrusion process allows for the creation of complex, customized shapes and cross-sections, making it a versatile manufacturing technique for a wide range of applications. After extrusion, the profiles may undergo additional processing, such as cutting, bending, or surface treatment, to meet specific customer requirements.

Production inputs

The production of aluminium alloy hollow profiles requires several key inputs, including aluminium alloy billets, extrusion dies, and specialized extrusion machinery. The choice of aluminium alloy composition is crucial, as it determines the final properties of the profiles, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. Additionally, the extrusion dies used in the manufacturing process must be precisely engineered to create the desired profile shape and dimensions.

Production outputs

Aluminium alloy hollow profiles find applications in a wide range of industries, including 760429 Aluminium; alloys, hollow profiles, not further worked than extruded, 761010 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, and 761090 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, nes. These profiles are used in the construction of buildings, vehicles, machinery, and various consumer products, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global economy.
