Nickel; bars, rods and profiles, of nickel alloys

HS v2022 Code: 750512

About nickel; bars, rods and profiles, of nickel alloys

HS code 750512 covers the trade of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles. Nickel alloys are highly valued for their corrosion resistance, strength, and heat tolerance, making them essential materials in a wide range of industries. From aerospace and automotive to chemical processing and energy production, nickel alloys play a crucial role in the global economy, enabling the manufacture of durable, high-performance components and equipment.

Production process

The production of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles typically involves a multi-step process. First, the desired nickel alloy composition is melted and cast into ingots or billets. These are then subjected to hot or cold working techniques, such as rolling, forging, or extrusion, to shape the material into the desired form. The final products are then subjected to heat treatment and finishing processes to ensure the desired mechanical properties and surface finish.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles include nickel, as well as other alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and iron. Specialized equipment, such as melting furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are required to power the various production steps.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 750512 are nickel alloy bars, rods, and profiles, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These products may be used in the manufacture of 750610 Nickel; plates, sheets, strip and foil, of nickel, 750810 Nickel; tubes, pipes and tube or pipe fittings, of nickel, and 848210 Ball or roller bearings, among other applications.
