Beryllium and articles thereof; unwrought beryllium, powders
HS v2022 Code: 811212
About beryllium and articles thereof; unwrought beryllium, powders
HS code 811212 covers the trade of beryllium and articles made from beryllium, including unwrought beryllium and beryllium powders. Beryllium is a rare and lightweight metal with unique properties that make it highly valuable in various industries. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion make it an essential material in aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and nuclear applications. The global beryllium market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by increasing demand from these key sectors.
Production process
Beryllium is primarily produced through the extraction and refinement of beryllium-containing ores. The main production process involves crushing and concentrating the ore, followed by chemical treatment to extract the pure beryllium metal. Beryllium powder is produced by further processing the extracted metal, often through techniques like atomization or electrolytic deposition. Manufacturers must adhere to strict safety protocols due to the hazardous nature of beryllium dust and fumes.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the beryllium industry include beryllium-containing ores, such as bertrandite and beryl, as well as various chemicals and energy sources required for the extraction and refinement processes. Specialized equipment, including crushing, grinding, and smelting machinery, is also essential for the production of beryllium and its derivatives. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in metallurgy, chemical processing, and occupational safety.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of HS code 811212 are unwrought beryllium, beryllium powders, and various beryllium-containing articles. These products are then consumed by a range of industries, including 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, 851770 Parts of telephone sets, telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks, and 840110 Nuclear reactors. Beryllium is also used in the production of 811219 Other articles of beryllium, n.e.s..
