HS v2017 Code: 851580

About welding machines and apparatus; n.e.c. in heading no. 8515, whether or not capable of cutting

hs code 851580 covers a wide range of welding machines and apparatus that are not classified elsewhere in heading 8515. These welding machines play a crucial role in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and automotive, by enabling the joining of metal components through the application of heat, pressure, or a combination of both. The global welding equipment market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by factors such as the increasing demand for infrastructure development, the rise of the automotive industry, and the need for efficient and cost-effective fabrication processes.

Production process

Welding machines and apparatus classified under hs code 851580 are produced using a variety of techniques, depending on the specific type of welding process they are designed for. Common production methods include metal casting, machining, and assembly of various components such as power sources, welding torches, and control systems. Manufacturers may also incorporate advanced technologies, such as microprocessor-controlled systems and automated welding processes, to enhance the efficiency and precision of the equipment.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of welding machines and apparatus under hs code 851580 include metals (such as steel, aluminum, and copper), electrical components (e.g., transformers, rectifiers, and control systems), and specialized welding consumables (e.g., electrodes, filler materials, and shielding gases). Manufacturers may also rely on various types of machinery, such as CNC machines, welding robots, and testing equipment, to ensure the quality and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

Welding machines and apparatus classified under hs code 851580 are primarily used in a wide range of industries, including 870000 Motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 730000 Iron and steel, 720000 Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof, and 940000 Furniture; bedding, mattresses, mattress supports, cushions and similar stuffed furnishings; lamps and lighting fittings, n.e.c.; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like; prefabricated buildings. These welding machines and apparatus are essential for the fabrication, repair, and maintenance of various metal structures, components, and products.
