Brazing or soldering machines and apparatus; other than soldering irons and guns, whether or not capable of cutting

HS v2017 Code: 851519

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

hs code 851519 covers a range of specialized equipment used in the metalworking industry for brazing and soldering processes. These machines and apparatus play a crucial role in the fabrication, assembly, and repair of metal components across various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction. The efficient and precise application of heat to join metal parts is essential for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of a wide array of products that underpin the global economy.

Production process

Brazing and soldering machines and apparatus covered under hs code 851519 utilize controlled heat sources, such as gas flames, electric arcs, or induction heating, to melt and fuse metal components. The key production techniques involve carefully positioning the workpieces, applying flux to facilitate the bonding process, and precisely controlling the temperature and duration of the heating cycle to ensure a strong, reliable joint. These machines may also incorporate features like automated feed mechanisms, shielding gases, and cooling systems to optimize the brazing or soldering operation.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of brazing and soldering machines and apparatus under hs code 851519 include specialized metalworking components, such as heating elements, control systems, and mechanical parts. Additionally, these machines rely on a steady supply of consumable materials, including welding rods, flux, and shielding gases, to facilitate the brazing and soldering processes. Manufacturers in this industry also require access to advanced manufacturing technologies, skilled technicians, and robust quality control measures to ensure the reliability and performance of their products.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 851519 is the brazing and soldering machines and apparatus themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries that require metal joining capabilities. These industries include 870000 Vehicles, 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, 850000 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles, and 940000 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings, among others.
