Aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed)
HS v2022 Code: 760110
About aluminium; unwrought, (not alloyed)
HS code 760110 covers the import and export of unwrought, non-alloyed aluminum. Aluminum is a versatile and widely used metal, with applications across various industries, including construction, transportation, packaging, and electronics. As a lightweight yet durable material, non-alloyed aluminum plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting the production of a wide range of products and enabling efficient manufacturing processes.
Production process
The production of non-alloyed, unwrought aluminum typically involves the electrolytic reduction of alumina (aluminum oxide) in a process known as the Hall-Héroult process. This process involves the use of a molten cryolite bath, where the alumina is dissolved and then reduced to pure aluminum metal through the application of an electric current. The resulting aluminum is then cast into ingots, billets, or other shapes for further processing or distribution.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the production of non-alloyed, unwrought aluminum include alumina (aluminum oxide), which is typically derived from bauxite ore, as well as electricity to power the electrolytic reduction process. Additionally, the production process requires specialized equipment, such as electrolytic cells, casting molds, and other supporting infrastructure to ensure efficient and high-quality aluminum production.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 760110 is non-alloyed, unwrought aluminum in various forms, such as ingots, billets, and other cast shapes. This aluminum is then further processed and utilized in a wide range of industries, including 760120 Aluminium; unwrought, alloyed, 760410 Aluminium; bars, rods and profiles, 760511 Aluminium; wire, not alloyed, and 760711 Aluminium; foil, not backed, rolled but not further worked, among others.
