About iron or non-alloy steel; bars and rods, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot drawn or hot-extruded, but including those twisted after rolling

HS code 7214 covers a crucial segment of the steel industry, encompassing iron or non-alloy steel bars and rods that have undergone various hot-working processes. These products are essential raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing and construction applications, making them a vital component of the global economy. The demand for 7214 steel bars and rods is driven by the ongoing need for durable, high-strength materials in sectors such as automotive, infrastructure, and machinery production.

Production process

The production of 7214 steel bars and rods typically involves a series of hot-working processes. First, the raw materials, which are typically steel billets or ingots, are heated to high temperatures, often in a furnace. The heated material is then subjected to various forming techniques, such as forging, rolling, or drawing, to shape it into the desired bar or rod form. These processes help to improve the material's strength, ductility, and overall quality. In some cases, the finished products may also undergo a twisting operation to impart additional structural properties.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of 7214 steel bars and rods include iron ore, coal, and scrap steel. These raw materials are essential for the steelmaking process, which typically involves smelting and refining to produce the desired grade of steel. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as rolling mills, forging presses, and drawing equipment, are necessary to shape the steel into the final bar or rod form. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also crucial for powering the various production stages.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 7214 is steel bars and rods, which are widely used in a variety of industries. These products may be further processed or incorporated into a range of end-use applications, including 7308 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, 8708 Parts and accessories for vehicles, and 8429 Self-propelled bulldozers, angledozers, graders, levelers, scrapers, mechanical shovels, excavators, shovel loaders, tamping machines and road rollers.
