Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, clad

HS v2017 Code: 721260

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, width less than 600mm, clad

HS code 721260 covers iron or non-alloy steel that has been flat-rolled and has a width of less than 600mm. This type of steel is commonly used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and manufacturing. It is an essential material for the production of a wide range of products, making it a crucial component of the global economy.

Production process

The production of flat-rolled steel with a width less than 600mm typically involves a series of rolling and finishing processes. The raw materials, which may include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements, are first melted in a furnace to produce molten steel. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled and processed to achieve the desired thickness and width. The final product may undergo additional treatments, such as cladding or coating, to enhance its properties and performance.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721260 steel include iron ore, coal, and other alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, and manganese. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, furnaces, and casting equipment, to facilitate the production process. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also crucial inputs for the industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721260 is flat-rolled steel with a width less than 600mm, which can be used in a variety of applications. This material may be further processed or consumed by industries such as 721310 Iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, hot-rolled, in irregularly wound coils, 721420 Iron or non-alloy steel; angles, shapes and sections, not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn or extruded, and 732111 (Stoves, ranges, grates, cookers (including those with subsidiary boilers for central heating), barbecues, braziers, gas-rings, plate warmers and similar non-electric domestic appliances, and parts thereof, of iron or steel).
