About aluminium; tubes and pipes, alloys

HS code 760820 covers the import and export of aluminium tubes and pipes made from aluminium alloys. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential components for a wide range of applications. Aluminium alloy tubes and pipes are valued for their strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, making them a popular choice in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and plumbing.

Production process

The production of aluminium alloy tubes and pipes typically involves a multi-step process. First, aluminium alloy ingots are melted and cast into billets or logs. These are then extruded through a die to create the desired tube or pipe shape. The extruded products may undergo further processing, such as annealing, drawing, or rolling, to refine their dimensions and properties. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the final products meet industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of aluminium alloy tubes and pipes include aluminium alloy ingots, which serve as the primary raw material. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extrusion presses and rolling mills, are essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also necessary to power the production equipment. Skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and operators, is crucial for the efficient and consistent production of these aluminium products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 760820 is aluminium alloy tubes and pipes, which are used in a variety of industries. These products may be further consumed by 760810 Aluminium; tubes and pipes, not alloyed, 760900 Aluminium; tube or pipe fittings, and 761010 Aluminium; structures and parts of structures, plates, rods, profiles, tubes and the like, among others. The versatility of aluminium alloy tubes and pipes makes them valuable components in applications ranging from construction and plumbing to automotive and aerospace manufacturing.
