About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm

HS code 721912 covers the classification of stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, in coils, and have a width of 600mm or more. This industry plays a crucial role in the global manufacturing and construction sectors, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications, from industrial equipment to architectural elements. As a key component of the broader steel industry, the production and trade of these stainless steel products significantly contribute to the overall economic activity and development.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721912 typically involves a series of hot-rolling processes. The process begins with the melting and refining of stainless steel scrap or raw materials, followed by the casting of the molten steel into slabs or billets. These semi-finished products are then fed into a hot-rolling mill, where they are subjected to intense heat and pressure to reduce their thickness and shape them into the desired flat-rolled form. The hot-rolled coils are then cooled, trimmed, and prepared for further processing or distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721912 include stainless steel scrap or raw materials, such as chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as electric arc furnaces, continuous casting machines, and hot-rolling mills, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 721912 is stainless steel flat-rolled products in coil form, with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness between 4.75mm and 10mm. These materials are widely used in various industries, including 721913 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, not in coils, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more but not exceeding 10mm, 721914 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more, and 721921 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, in coils, of a thickness of less than 4.75mm.
