Products classified under Tariff item 8109.39.00
Zirconium Borings
Zirconium borings are fine drill chips and residues generated during the machining of zirconium components, particularly in nuclear reactor fabrication. These materials are classified as waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 because they are not usable as finished articles and do not meet the definitions of unwrought zirconium or other specific forms.
Zirconium Clipping Waste
Zirconium clipping waste consists of sheared offcuts from zirconium sheet stock used in heat exchanger production. These clippings are not usable as sheets and are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, distinct from unwrought zirconium or finished articles.
Zirconium EDM Wire Scrap
Zirconium EDM wire scrap is spent wire remnants from electrical discharge machining of zirconium molds. This fine wire waste is classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, supporting recycling in tool-and-die operations due to its precision-grade zirconium content.
Zirconium Fabrication Dust
Zirconium fabrication dust is fine particulate collected from sanding and polishing zirconium anodes in electroplating lines. This dust is classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 and requires explosion-proof handling due to its fine particle size and reactive nature.
Zirconium Filing Scrap
Zirconium filing scrap consists of fine filings from hand-finishing zirconium tubes for medical implants. These small-particle residues are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, and their high purity makes them suitable for biomedical recycling.
Zirconium Grinding Swarf
Zirconium grinding swarf is abrasive-laden waste from surface grinding zirconium billets for turbine blades. This contaminated waste and scrap is classified under tariff item 8109.39.00 and requires cleaning before remelting to recover the zirconium.
Zirconium Lathe Scrap
Zirconium lathe scrap includes continuous chips from lathe turning zirconium pump shafts for corrosive environments. These coiled residues are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 and are excellent for direct arc remelt furnaces.
Zirconium Machining Scrap
Zirconium machining scrap is a mix of clippings, turnings, and filings from CNC machining of zirconium alloy parts for chemical processing equipment. This other category of waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 covers industrial fabrication residues.
Zirconium Mill Scale Scrap
Zirconium mill scale scrap consists of oxide flakes from hot rolling zirconium strips for cladding. These scale layers, separated during pickling, are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 and offer high recovery yield post-reduction.
Zirconium NDT Reject Scrap
Zirconium NDT reject scrap includes quality rejects from non-destructive testing of zirconium billets, fragmented for scrap. These flawed semi-products are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, with full traceability maintained.
Zirconium Plasma Cut Scrap
Zirconium plasma cut scrap consists of dross and edge beads from plasma arc cutting zirconium heat shields. These oxidized cutting residues are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 and are a staple in aerospace recycling.
Zirconium Reactor Scrap
Zirconium reactor scrap comprises decommissioned scraps from zirconium cladding in nuclear fuel rods, categorized as other waste under tariff item 8109.39.00. Its low hafnium content makes it prime for reprocessing into fresh cladding, but strict radiological controls apply.
Zirconium Tooling Scrap
Zirconium tooling scrap includes broken dies and punches from zirconium extrusion tooling, classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00 when no longer serviceable. The refractory properties of zirconium aid in forge recycling.
Zirconium Turnings
Zirconium turnings are fine shavings generated from machining zirconium bars or rods in aerospace manufacturing. These are classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, excluding unwrought zirconium and other specific forms.
Zirconium Waterjet Scrap
Zirconium waterjet scrap consists of kerf scraps from abrasive waterjet cutting zirconium armor plate. This wet garnet-mixed waste is classified as other waste and scrap under tariff item 8109.39.00, with defense-grade recovery potential.
