HS v2022 Code: 810999

About zirconium; other than unwrought, n.e.c. in heading no. 8109, containing not less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight

HS code 810999 covers zirconium products, excluding unwrought zirconium, that contain at least 1 part hafnium for every 500 parts zirconium by weight. Zirconium is a valuable metal with a wide range of industrial applications, from nuclear reactors to ceramic materials. This code plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential components and materials for various manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of zirconium products covered under HS code 810999 typically involves a multi-step process. First, zirconium ore is extracted and refined to produce pure zirconium metal. The zirconium is then alloyed with other metals, such as hafnium, to achieve the desired properties. The alloyed material is then shaped and processed into various forms, such as sheets, bars, or tubes, using techniques like casting, rolling, or extrusion.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of zirconium products under HS code 810999 include zirconium ore, hafnium, and various alloying elements. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as furnaces, rolling mills, and extrusion presses, are necessary for the shaping and processing of the zirconium alloys. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The zirconium products covered under HS code 810999 are used in a wide range of industries, including 840110 Nuclear reactors, 840120 Machinery and mechanical appliances, and 690410 Ceramic products. These zirconium-based materials are valued for their high strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability, making them essential components in various applications, such as nuclear fuel cladding, chemical processing equipment, and advanced ceramics.
