Metals; rhodium, semi-manufactured

HS v2022 Code: 711039

About metals; rhodium, semi-manufactured

HS code 711039 covers the semi-manufactured forms of rhodium, a rare and valuable precious metal. Rhodium is primarily used in the automotive industry for catalytic converters, as well as in the production of electrical contacts, laboratory equipment, and jewelry. As a highly corrosion-resistant and reflective metal, rhodium plays a crucial role in various industrial and technological applications, contributing to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of semi-manufactured rhodium typically involves several key steps. First, rhodium is extracted from ores or recycled materials through a series of chemical processes, including smelting, refining, and purification. The purified rhodium is then shaped into various forms, such as sheets, wires, or foils, using techniques like rolling, drawing, or casting. These semi-manufactured rhodium products are then ready for further processing or incorporation into final products.

Production inputs

The production of semi-manufactured rhodium requires several key inputs, including rhodium-containing ores or recycled materials, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the extraction, refining, and shaping processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy and materials science to ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final rhodium products.

Production outputs

The semi-manufactured rhodium products covered by HS code 711039 are primarily consumed by industries that require the unique properties of rhodium, such as the 870323 motor vehicle industry, the 901890 medical and laboratory equipment industry, and the 711319 jewelry industry. These rhodium-based materials are often used in the production of catalytic converters, electrical contacts, and various high-performance components.
