HS v2017 Code: 810294

About molybdenum; unwrought, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering

hs code 810294 covers the trade of unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering. Molybdenum is a critical metal with a wide range of industrial applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. As a refractory metal, molybdenum is highly valued for its heat and corrosion resistance, making it essential for the production of various alloys, catalysts, and specialized components used in industries such as aerospace, electronics, and energy.

Production process

The production of unwrought molybdenum typically involves mining and processing molybdenum-containing ores. The primary production method is roasting molybdenite (MoS2) concentrates to produce molybdenum trioxide (MoO3), which is then reduced to molybdenum metal powder. This powder can then be compacted and sintered to form bars, rods, and other unwrought molybdenum products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unwrought molybdenum include molybdenum-containing ores, such as molybdenite, as well as various chemicals and energy sources needed for the roasting and reduction processes. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, compaction presses, and sintering machines, are also essential for the manufacturing of these products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 810294 is unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering. These products are then consumed by various industries, such as 810295 Molybdenum; bars and rods, other than those obtained simply by sintering, 810296 Molybdenum; wire, and 810297 Molybdenum; plates, sheets, strip and foil, which use molybdenum in the production of specialized components, alloys, and other applications.
