Magnesium; unwrought, containing less than 99.8% by weight of magnesium
HS v2022 Code: 810419
About magnesium; unwrought, containing less than 99.8% by weight of magnesium
HS code 810419 covers the trade of unwrought magnesium containing less than 99.8% by weight of magnesium. Magnesium is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal with a wide range of industrial applications. It is an essential element in the production of various alloys, chemicals, and consumer goods, making it a crucial component in the global manufacturing and construction industries.
Production process
Magnesium is primarily produced through the electrolytic reduction of magnesium oxide or the thermal reduction of magnesium compounds. The key production steps involve mining and processing raw materials, such as magnesite or dolomite, to extract and purify the magnesium. Electrolytic cells are then used to separate the magnesium from the molten salts, resulting in the production of unwrought magnesium.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of unwrought magnesium under HS code 810419 include raw materials like magnesite, dolomite, and other magnesium-bearing ores. Additionally, the process requires significant amounts of energy, typically in the form of electricity or natural gas, to power the electrolytic or thermal reduction processes. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, electrolytic cells, and casting machinery, are also essential inputs for this industry.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 810419 is unwrought magnesium containing less than 99.8% by weight of magnesium. This material is then used as an input for the production of various 810420 Magnesium; unwrought, containing at least 99.8% by weight of magnesium and 810430 Magnesium; waste and scrap, as well as a wide range of magnesium-based alloys and compounds used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction.
