Aluminium wire

HS v2017 Code: 7605

About aluminium wire

HS code 7605 covers aluminium wire, a versatile and widely used product in various industries. Aluminium wire plays a crucial role in the global economy, serving as a key component in electrical wiring, construction, transportation, and numerous other applications. Its lightweight, corrosion-resistance, and excellent electrical conductivity make it an indispensable material in modern infrastructure and technological advancements.

Production process

The production of aluminium wire typically involves a multi-step process. First, aluminium ingots or billets are melted and cast into the desired shape and size. The cast aluminium is then drawn through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and increase its length, creating the wire. This drawing process may be repeated several times to achieve the required wire diameter and properties. Heat treatment and other finishing processes may also be applied to the wire to enhance its strength, flexibility, and other characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium wire include aluminium raw materials, such as ingots or billets, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for the drawing and finishing processes. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the melting and drawing operations. Other inputs may include lubricants, coolants, and various tools and accessories used in the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 7605 is aluminium wire, which is then consumed by a wide range of industries. This wire can be used in the production of 8544 Electric conductors, 8501 Electric motors, 8536 Electrical apparatus, and 8517 Telephone sets, among other applications. Aluminium wire is also an important input for the construction industry, where it is used in 8536 Electrical installations and 7308 Structures and parts of structures.
