Nickel; tubes and pipes, of nickel alloys
HS v2022 Code: 750712
About nickel; tubes and pipes, of nickel alloys
HS code 750712 covers the trade of nickel tubes and pipes made from nickel alloys. Nickel is a vital metal with a wide range of industrial applications, including the production of stainless steel, superalloys, and various chemical compounds. The nickel tubes and pipes industry plays a crucial role in supporting industries such as aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas, providing essential components and infrastructure.
Production process
The production of nickel tubes and pipes typically involves a multi-step process. First, nickel alloy ingots or billets are cast and then hot-rolled or extruded into the desired tube or pipe shapes. The semi-finished products may then undergo additional processing, such as cold-drawing, annealing, or surface finishing, to achieve the required dimensions, tolerances, and surface characteristics.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the nickel tubes and pipes industry include nickel ore, alloying elements (such as chromium, molybdenum, or iron), and specialized production equipment like rolling mills, extrusion presses, and drawing machines. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating these complex manufacturing processes.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the nickel tubes and pipes industry are various types of nickel alloy tubes and pipes, which are then used in a wide range of applications. These products may be consumed by industries such as 760120 Aluminum tubes and pipes, 730411 Line pipe of a kind used for oil or gas pipelines, and 840810 (Compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)), among others.
