About machine-tools; hot forming machines, hot hammers, for working metal

HS code 846219 covers a range of machine-tools used for the hot forming and shaping of metal. These specialized machines play a crucial role in the metalworking industry, enabling the production of complex metal components and parts essential for a wide array of industries, from automotive and aerospace to construction and manufacturing. The machines described under this code are instrumental in transforming raw metal into finished products, contributing significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques involved in this industry include hot forging, hot stamping, and hot hammering. These processes utilize high temperatures to soften the metal, allowing it to be shaped and formed into the desired components. The metal is typically heated to temperatures ranging from 800°C to 1200°C, after which it is placed into a die or mold and subjected to intense pressure from the machine-tools, resulting in the desired shape and form.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of the machine-tools covered under HS code 846219 include high-quality steel alloys, specialized heating and cooling systems, advanced hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms, and precision engineering components. Additionally, these machines often require skilled operators and technicians to ensure proper setup, operation, and maintenance.

Production outputs

The machine-tools produced under HS code 846219 are primarily used in the manufacturing of various metal components and parts, such as 840120 engine parts, 870810 vehicle body parts, and 731100 metal containers. These machine-tools are essential for the hot forming and shaping of metals, enabling the production of complex and intricate parts that are crucial for a wide range of industries, including 870323 motor vehicles, 848610 semiconductor manufacturing, and 731100 metal fabrication.
