Zirconium Turnings

Fine shavings or turnings generated from machining zirconium bars or rods in aerospace manufacturing. Classified under HTS 8109.39.00.00 as zirconium waste and scrap, specifically 'other' forms excluding unwrought zirconium. This scrap material is collected for recycling into new zirconium products.

Zirconium Borings

Drill borings and chips from zirconium components used in nuclear reactor fabrication. This 'other' waste and scrap under HTS 8109.39.00.00 captures manufacturing residues not fitting specific wrought or unwrought categories. Recyclers melt these for ingot production.

Zirconium Machining Scrap

Mixed clippings, turnings, and filings from CNC machining of zirconium alloy parts for chemical processing equipment. HTS 8109.39.00.00 covers this 'other' category of zirconium waste and scrap from industrial fabrication. Ideal for remelting in secondary production.

Zirconium Filing Scrap

Fine filings from hand-finishing zirconium tubes for medical implants. As 'other' waste and scrap in HTS 8109.39.00.00, this captures small-particle residues from fabrication. High purity suits biomedical recycling.

Zirconium Clipping Waste

Sheared clippings from zirconium sheet stock used in heat exchanger production. Falls under HTS 8109.39.00.00 as other zirconium waste and scrap, distinct from unwrought or finished articles. Recovered for efficient material recovery.

Zirconium Grinding Swarf

Abrasive-laden swarf from surface grinding zirconium billets for turbine blades. HTS 8109.39.00.00 classifies this contaminated 'other' waste and scrap from precision machining. Requires cleaning before remelt.
