HS v2017 Code: 851529

About welding machines and apparatus; for resistance welding of metal, other than fully or partly automatic, whether or not capable of cutting

hs code 851529 covers a critical segment of the welding industry, focusing on resistance welding machines and apparatus used for metal fabrication. These specialized tools play a vital role in various manufacturing sectors, enabling the efficient and precise joining of metal components. As a key contributor to the broader metalworking and fabrication industries, this code represents an essential part of the global supply chain, supporting the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial goods.

Production process

Resistance welding is a widely used technique in the manufacturing of metal products. The process involves the use of two electrodes that apply pressure and an electric current to the workpieces, generating heat and melting the metal at the joint. This allows for the formation of a strong, permanent bond between the components. The welding machines and apparatus covered under hs code 851529 are designed to facilitate this resistance welding process, providing the necessary power, control, and precision to ensure high-quality, consistent welds.

Production inputs

The production of resistance welding machines and apparatus requires a range of inputs, including specialized metal components, electrical and electronic parts, and advanced control systems. Manufacturers in this industry rely on a steady supply of raw materials, such as steel, copper, and various alloys, to fabricate the core structural and conductive elements of the welding equipment. Additionally, the incorporation of advanced electronics, sensors, and software enables the precise control and monitoring of the welding process, ensuring optimal performance and safety.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 851529 is the resistance welding machines and apparatus themselves, which are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 731320 Manufacture of other tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal, 251100 Manufacture of structural metal products, 281100 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, and 281200 Manufacture of fluid power equipment. These welding machines and apparatus are essential for the fabrication of a diverse array of metal products, from industrial machinery and equipment to automotive components and consumer goods.
