Aerospace Zirconium Alloy Borings
Fine borings generated from drilling zirconium components used in aircraft engines. These are classified as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00 because they are fragmented, not usable as original articles, and contain less than 1 part hafnium to 500 parts zirconium by weight, making them suitable for remelting into high-purity alloys.
Lab Equipment Zirconium Scrap
Broken crucibles and boats used in analytical laboratories, made of low-hafnium zirconium. These items are no longer usable for their original purpose due to breakage, classifying them as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00, provided they meet the hafnium content requirement.
Low-Hafnium Zirconium Turning Scrap
Machining turnings and chips from zirconium alloy aerospace parts, with hafnium content below the 1:500 ratio. These are fragmented and unsuitable for direct use, qualifying as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00, distinct from wrought articles.
Naval Zirconium Propeller Scrap
Scrap from corroded zirconium propeller shafts used in submarines, with low hafnium content. The material is waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00 because it is no longer usable as a shaft due to corrosion, and it meets the hafnium specification.
Pharmaceutical Reactor Zirconium Scrap
Cuttings and offcuts from zirconium vessels used in pharmaceutical API synthesis, with hafnium content compliant with the 1:500 ratio. These are fabrication waste, classified as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00, not as usable articles.
Salt Bath Furnace Liners Scrap
Degraded zirconium liners from heat treating furnaces, with low hafnium content. The liners are no longer functional due to wear and thermal damage, classifying them as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.31.00.
