HS v2017 Code: 846320
About machine-tools; for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, thread rolling machines
hs code 846320 covers a critical segment of the metalworking industry, encompassing machine-tools used for working metal, sintered metal carbides, or cermets without removing material. These specialized machines play a vital role in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, from automotive components to industrial machinery, making them an essential part of the broader global economy.
Production process
The primary production technique for the machines described by hs code 846320 is thread rolling. This process involves the use of specialized rollers that deform the metal surface to create threads, rather than removing material through cutting or drilling. Thread rolling is a highly efficient and cost-effective method of producing threaded parts, as it minimizes material waste and can be performed at high speeds.
Production inputs
The production of the machine-tools covered by hs code 846320 requires a range of inputs, including high-quality steel, specialized bearings, and advanced control systems. Additionally, these machines often incorporate sintered metal carbides or cermets, which are composite materials composed of metal and ceramic components, providing enhanced durability and performance. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on precision engineering and advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure the quality and reliability of their products.
Production outputs
The machine-tools described by hs code 846320 are primarily used in the production of threaded components, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 840120 Machinery; for the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or drink, 840310 Boilers; steam or other vapor generating, and 840390 Parts; of steam or other vapor generating boilers. These threaded parts are essential for the assembly and maintenance of a variety of industrial equipment, making the output of this industry a critical input for numerous other economic sectors.
