Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cobalt mattes
Mattes are primary intermediates, preceding powder production in metallurgy.
If chemically treated carbides
Cemented cobalt-tungsten carbides move to Chapter 28 for carbides of metals.
If prepared chemical additive
Powder in chemical mixtures for specific uses falls under Chapter 38 preparations.
