Nickel; unwrought, alloys

HS v2022 Code: 750220

About nickel; unwrought, alloys

HS code 750220 covers the import and export of unwrought nickel alloys. Nickel is a vital metal used in a wide range of industries, from stainless steel production to the manufacture of batteries and electronics. As a key component in many industrial processes, the global trade in nickel alloys plays a significant role in the broader economy.

Production process

Nickel alloys are produced through a process of smelting and refining. Nickel ore is first extracted from the earth, then subjected to high temperatures to separate the nickel from other minerals. The resulting nickel is then combined with other metals, such as chromium or molybdenum, to create specialized alloys with unique properties and applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of nickel alloys include nickel ore, as well as various alloying metals and minerals. Specialized equipment, such as smelting furnaces and refining machinery, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 750220 are unwrought nickel alloys, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream industries. These include the production of 721810 stainless steel, 848620 electronic components, and 851770 batteries. The versatility of nickel alloys makes them a crucial material for many high-tech and industrial applications.
