Aluminium wire

HS v2022 Code: 7605

About aluminium wire

HS code 7605 covers aluminium wire, a versatile and widely used industrial product. Aluminium wire plays a crucial role in various sectors, including electrical, construction, and transportation. Its lightweight, corrosion-resistance, and excellent conductivity make it an essential component in a wide range of applications, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Aluminium wire is typically produced through a process called wire drawing. In this method, aluminium billets or rods are repeatedly drawn through a series of dies, gradually reducing the diameter of the wire while increasing its length and improving its overall properties. The wire may also undergo additional treatments, such as annealing or coating, to enhance its performance characteristics.

Production inputs

The production of aluminium wire requires several key inputs, including primary aluminium, alloying elements, and specialized machinery. Aluminium smelters provide the primary aluminium, which is then alloyed with other metals, such as magnesium or silicon, to improve the wire's strength, conductivity, or other desired properties. The wire drawing process also relies on specialized equipment, including wire drawing machines, annealing furnaces, and various finishing tools.

Production outputs

Aluminium wire produced under HS code 7605 is widely used in a variety of industries. It is a crucial component in the manufacture of electrical cables and wiring, where its high conductivity and corrosion resistance make it an ideal choice. Additionally, aluminium wire is used in construction, particularly for overhead power lines, as well as in transportation applications, such as in the production of 8703 Motor cars and other motor vehicles.
