Nickel 99.95% Pure Cathode
High-purity nickel cathode sheets produced via electrolytic refining, containing at least 99.95% nickel with minimal impurities. This unwrought form is used as a raw material for further processing into rods, wires, or alloys. It falls under HTS 7502.10.00.00 as unwrought, non-alloyed nickel.
Electrolytic Nickel Rounds
Cylindrical electrolytic nickel pellets or rounds, 99.9% pure, used directly in melting furnaces for alloy production. These are considered unwrought due to their raw, unprocessed state despite discrete shape. Classified under HTS 7502.10.00.00 as non-alloyed unwrought nickel.
Nickel Briquettes 99.8% Pure
Compressed nickel briquettes made from electrolytic nickel powder, containing 99.8% nickel, used in stainless steel production. Remains unwrought as briquetting doesn't constitute working beyond consolidation. HTS 7502.10.00.00 applies to this non-alloyed form.
High-Purity Nickel Shot
