HS v2017 Code: 851511

About brazing or soldering machines and apparatus; soldering irons and guns, whether or not capable of cutting

hs code 851511 covers a range of equipment and tools used in the metalworking industry for joining and repairing metal components through brazing, soldering, and welding. These machines and tools play a crucial role in various manufacturing and repair processes, enabling the seamless integration of metal parts and the creation of durable, high-quality products. The 851511 industry is an essential component of the broader metalworking and fabrication sectors, supporting a wide range of industries, from automotive and aerospace to construction and electronics.

Production process

The primary production techniques for hs code 851511 items involve the use of heat to melt and fuse metal components. Brazing machines use a high-temperature alloy to join metal parts, while soldering irons and guns utilize a lower-temperature solder material. These tools and equipment are designed to provide precise control over the heating and application of the joining material, ensuring a strong, reliable bond between the metal components. Manufacturers may also incorporate advanced features, such as adjustable temperature settings and ergonomic designs, to enhance the efficiency and versatility of these products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 851511 items include various metal alloys, such as copper, brass, and silver, which are used as the brazing or soldering materials. Additionally, manufacturers require high-quality power sources, such as electrical or gas-powered heating elements, to generate the necessary heat for the joining process. Specialized tools and accessories, such as tips, nozzles, and flux, are also essential inputs for ensuring the proper functioning and performance of these machines and equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hs code 851511 industry is a range of brazing and soldering machines, irons, and guns, which are used in a variety of metalworking and fabrication applications. These products are often consumed by industries such as 851521 Machines and apparatus for resistance welding of metal, 851529 (Machines and apparatus for arc (including plasma arc) welding of metals), and 851580 Other machines and apparatus for welding, brazing, soldering or surface tempering, as they provide the necessary tools and equipment for joining and repairing metal components in their respective manufacturing processes.
