Zirconium; unwrought, powders, containing not less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight

HS v2022 Code: 810929

About zirconium; unwrought, powders, containing not less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight

HS code 810929 covers the trade of unwrought zirconium powders containing a specific ratio of zirconium to hafnium. Zirconium is a highly valuable metal with a wide range of industrial applications, particularly in the nuclear, aerospace, and chemical industries. This code is an important part of the broader 810000 Unwrought Zirconium and Zirconium Waste and Scrap industry, which plays a crucial role in supporting advanced manufacturing and technological development across numerous sectors.

Production process

Zirconium powders covered under HS code 810929 are typically produced through a multi-step process. First, zirconium ore is extracted and refined to produce pure zirconium metal. The metal is then melted and atomized into a fine powder, ensuring the required ratio of zirconium to hafnium is maintained. Finally, the powder is sieved and packaged for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 810929 products include zirconium ore, as well as specialized equipment for melting, atomizing, and sieving the metal powder. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the necessary machinery and ensuring precise control over the zirconium-to-hafnium ratio.

Production outputs

The zirconium powders covered under HS code 810929 are primarily used as feedstock for the production of 840110 Nuclear Reactors and other advanced industrial applications. The output from this industry is also consumed by manufacturers of 848620 Machines and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Semiconductor Devices or of Electronic Integrated Circuits and 902730 (Spectrometers, Spectrophotometers and Spectrographs Using Optical Radiations (UV, Visible, IR)), among other high-tech industries.
