About aluminium; stranded wire, cables, plaited bands and the like, (not electrically insulated)

HS code 7614 covers a range of aluminium products, including stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands. These items are widely used in various industries, such as construction, electrical, and transportation, due to aluminium's unique properties of high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and excellent electrical conductivity. The global aluminium wire and cable market is a significant component of the broader aluminium industry, which plays a crucial role in the world economy, supporting infrastructure development, manufacturing, and technological advancements.

Production process

The production of aluminium stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands typically involves several key steps. First, aluminium ingots or billets are melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast aluminium is then drawn through a series of dies to reduce the diameter and increase the tensile strength. For stranded wire and cables, the individual wires are then twisted or braided together to form the final product. Plaited bands are created by weaving or intertwining multiple aluminium strands. Throughout the production process, various heat treatments and quality control measures are employed to ensure the products meet industry standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 7614 items include aluminium raw materials, such as ingots or billets, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for drawing, twisting, and braiding the aluminium. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, energy sources, and transportation infrastructure to support the manufacturing and distribution of these products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 7614 are aluminium stranded wire, cables, and plaited bands, which are then consumed by a variety of downstream industries. These products find applications in 8544 Electric conductors, insulated; wire, cable, other electric conductors, 8501 Electric motors and generators, 8536 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, and 8607 Parts of railway or tramway locomotives or rolling-stock.
