Nickel; wire, not alloyed

HS v2022 Code: 750521

About nickel; wire, not alloyed

HS code 750521 covers the classification of nickel wire that is not alloyed with other metals. Nickel is a versatile and durable metal with a wide range of industrial applications, making it an important commodity in the global economy. The production and trade of nickel wire plays a crucial role in supporting various manufacturing and construction industries worldwide.

Production process

Nickel wire is typically produced through a process called wire drawing. In this method, a nickel rod or bar is repeatedly pulled through a series of progressively smaller dies, reducing its diameter and increasing its length. This process can be repeated multiple times to achieve the desired wire thickness and properties. The wire may also undergo additional treatments, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its characteristics for specific applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nickel wire include refined nickel, which serves as the primary raw material. Specialized wire-drawing equipment, such as dies, pulleys, and tensioning devices, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the wire-drawing machinery.

Production outputs

Nickel wire produced under HS code 750521 is a versatile material used in a wide range of industries. It is commonly used in the production of 731210 Stranded wire, ropes, and cables, 853710 Electrical control and distribution boards, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves, and similar appliances. The wire's corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity make it a valuable component in various electrical and mechanical applications.
