Nickel; tubes and pipes, not alloyed

HS v2022 Code: 750711

About nickel; tubes and pipes, not alloyed

HS code 750711 covers the trade of nickel tubes and pipes that are 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 tubes and pipes play a crucial role in supporting various manufacturing and construction industries around the world.

Production process

Nickel tubes and pipes are typically produced through a process known as extrusion. In this method, a solid nickel billet is heated and then forced through a die to create the desired tubular shape. The extruded tubes may then undergo additional processing steps, such as drawing, annealing, or surface finishing, to meet specific size, thickness, and quality requirements.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of nickel tubes and pipes is, of course, nickel metal. Nickel is typically mined from nickel-containing ores and then refined to produce pure nickel. Other key inputs include specialized machinery and equipment for the extrusion and finishing processes, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

Nickel tubes and pipes produced under HS code 750711 are used in a variety of applications, including 841920 Heat exchange units, 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances, and 731100 Containers for compressed or liquefied gas, of iron or steel. These nickel products are valued for their corrosion resistance, strength, and thermal properties, making them essential components in various industrial and infrastructure projects.
