Magnesium; unwrought, containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium
HS v2022 Code: 810411
About magnesium; unwrought, containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium
HS code 810411 covers the trade of unwrought magnesium containing at least 99.8% by weight of the element. Magnesium is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal with a wide range of industrial applications. As a key component in the production of alloys, the global magnesium industry plays a vital role in supporting the manufacturing of automotive parts, electronics, construction materials, and various other products that are essential to modern economies.
Production process
Magnesium is primarily produced through the electrolytic reduction of magnesium oxide or the thermal reduction of magnesium compounds. In the electrolytic process, magnesium oxide is dissolved in a molten salt bath, and an electric current is applied to extract the pure magnesium metal. The thermal reduction method involves heating magnesium compounds, such as dolomite or carnallite, in a furnace to extract the magnesium.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of 810411 magnesium; unwrought, containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium include raw materials like magnesium oxide, dolomite, or carnallite, as well as specialized equipment such as electrolytic cells, furnaces, and casting machinery. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the various production processes.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 810411 is high-purity unwrought magnesium, which is then used as a raw material in the production of 810420 magnesium; unwrought, containing less than 99.8% by weight of magnesium, 810430 magnesium; waste and scrap, and a wide range of magnesium alloys. These alloys are further utilized in the manufacturing of automotive parts, electronics, construction materials, and other products across various industries.
