Aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)

HS v2017 Code: 7614

About aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)

HS code 7614 covers a range of aluminium products, including stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands. These items are widely used in various industries, such as construction, electrical, and transportation, due to aluminium's unique properties of high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and excellent electrical conductivity. The global aluminium wire and cable market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from developing economies and the need for reliable power transmission and distribution infrastructure.

Production process

The production of aluminium stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands typically involves several key steps. First, aluminium ingots or billets are melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast aluminium is then drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the tensile strength. For stranded wire and cables, the individual wires are then twisted or braided together to form the final product. Plaited bands are created by weaving or braiding multiple aluminium strands together. Throughout the production process, heat treatment and quality control measures are employed to ensure the products meet industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7614 items include aluminium raw materials, such as ingots or billets, as well as various machinery and equipment for melting, casting, drawing, and braiding or weaving the aluminium. Specialized tools and dies are also necessary to shape the aluminium into the desired forms. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production equipment and ensure consistent quality.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7614 are aluminium stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands, which are used in a wide range of applications. These products may be further consumed by industries such as 8544 Electric conductors, insulated; wire, cable, other electric conductors, insulated, 8536 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits, and 8607 Parts of railway or tramway locomotives or rolling-stock.
