Nickel; powders and flakes
HS v2022 Code: 750400
About nickel; powders and flakes
HS code 750400 covers the trade of nickel powders and flakes, a crucial material in various industrial applications. Nickel is a versatile metal with high corrosion resistance, strength, and heat conductivity, making it an essential component in the production of stainless steel, batteries, catalysts, and numerous other products. The global nickel industry plays a significant role in supporting the growth of diverse manufacturing sectors, contributing to the overall economic development worldwide.
Production process
Nickel powders and flakes are typically produced through mechanical or chemical processes. Mechanical methods involve grinding or atomizing molten nickel to create fine particles, while chemical processes may include the reduction of nickel salts or the decomposition of nickel carbonyl. These production techniques aim to create nickel powders and flakes with specific particle sizes, shapes, and purity levels to meet the requirements of various applications.
Production inputs
The production of nickel powders and flakes requires several key inputs, including high-purity nickel raw materials, specialized machinery for grinding, atomizing, or chemical processing, and energy sources to power the manufacturing operations. Additionally, the industry may rely on various chemicals, catalysts, and other materials depending on the specific production methods employed.
Production outputs
Nickel powders and flakes produced under HS code 750400 are widely used as raw materials in the manufacturing of 750810 Nickel plates, sheets, strip and foil, 750820 Nickel tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings, and 851650 Microwave ovens, among other products. These nickel-based materials are essential components in the production of stainless steel, batteries, catalysts, and a range of other industrial and consumer goods.
