HS v2022 Code: 810294

About molybdenum; unwrought, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering

HS code 810294 covers the trade of unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering. Molybdenum is a critical metal used in a wide range of industrial applications, from steel and alloy production to catalysts and lubricants. As a refractory metal, molybdenum is highly valued for its strength, heat resistance, and corrosion-resistant properties, making it an essential component in many high-performance industries.

Production process

Molybdenum is primarily produced through mining and mineral processing techniques. The ore is extracted from molybdenum-containing deposits, then crushed, ground, and concentrated through a series of physical and chemical processes. The concentrated molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is then roasted to produce molybdenum trioxide (MoO3), which is subsequently reduced to pure molybdenum metal through a thermal or chemical reduction process. The molybdenum is then cast into various forms, such as bars, rods, and other unwrought shapes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unwrought molybdenum under HS code 810294 include molybdenum-containing ores, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, for the various processing and reduction stages. Specialized equipment, such as crushers, grinders, furnaces, and casting machinery, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 810294 is unwrought molybdenum, including bars and rods obtained simply by sintering. This material is then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, such as 720810 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, 810420 Magnesium; unwrought, and 840410 Auxiliary plant for use with boilers of heading 8402 or 8403, where molybdenum is used as an alloying element or for its unique physical and chemical properties.
