Products classified under HTS 8112.21.00.00
Chromium Metal Ingots
Pure chromium metal cast into ingots, used primarily in metallurgical applications for alloy production. Classified under HTS 8112.21.00.00 as unwrought chromium, which includes forms like ingots not further processed into sheets or wires. This excludes wrought forms like bars or rods.
High-Purity Chromium Powder
Fine chromium powder with purity levels above 99.9%, utilized in powder metallurgy and coating applications. Falls under HTS 8112.21.00.00 for unwrought chromium powders, encompassing atomized or chemically reduced forms not shaped into articles.
Chromium Billets
Cylindrical unwrought chromium billets produced by electron beam melting for aerospace alloys. HTS 8112.21.00.00 covers these semi-processed unwrought forms prior to hot working into rods or sheets.
Vacuum Arc Remelted Chromium
Chromium refined via vacuum arc remelting for ultra-high purity in superalloys. Remains unwrought under HTS 8112.21.00.00 as cast electrodes or lumps not mechanically worked.
Chromium Master Alloy Ingots
Unwrought ingots of nearly pure chromium used to introduce element into steel melts. Still under HTS 8112.21.00.00 if chromium content exceeds 99% per Chapter 81 alloy note.
Distilled Chromium Metal Lumps
Lump chromium produced by distillation for electronics-grade purity. Unwrought lumps classify under HTS 8112.21.00.00, not shaped into profiles.
Chromium Evaporation Pellets
Small pressed pellets of unwrought chromium for vacuum evaporation in thin-film deposition. HTS 8112.21.00.00 covers these as powders/unwrought despite pellet form, if not sintered articles.
High-Carbon Chromium Powder
Powdered chromium with controlled carbon content for welding rod production. Remains unwrought under HTS 8112.21.00.00 as elemental metal powder.
Chromium Sputtering Targets Unprocessed
Bulk unwrought chromium stock for machining into sputtering targets. Classified under HTS 8112.21.00.00 prior to target fabrication.
Thermochromic Chromium Flakes
Flaked chromium engineered for temperature-sensitive coatings in sensors. Unwrought status under HTS 8112.21.00.00 if not surface-treated.
Nanocrystalline Chromium Powder
Ultra-fine nanocrystalline chromium powder for nanocomposites and catalysts. HTS 8112.21.00.00 for unwrought despite nanoscale dimensions.
Chromium for Superalloy Production
Premium unwrought chromium slabs dedicated to nickel-base superalloys in turbines. Standard HTS 8112.21.00.00 classification for bulk metal.
Pure Chromium Vacuum-Sealed Ingots
Vacuum-sealed ingots preventing oxidation for long-term storage in research labs. Unwrought under HTS 8112.21.00.00; packaging doesn't change classification.
Electrolytic Chromium Flakes
Flake-form chromium from electrolytic refining, used in hardfacing and electroplating baths. Classified as unwrought under HTS 8112.21.00.00 since flakes are primary forms not further fabricated.
Atomized Chromium Powder for 3D Printing
Gas-atomized spherical chromium powder optimized for additive manufacturing in medical implants. HTS 8112.21.00.00 applies to such unwrought powders regardless of specialized end-use.
