HS v2017 Code: 721924

About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, hot-rolled, (not in coils), of a thickness of less than 3mm

HS code 721924 covers the classification of stainless steel flat-rolled products that are hot-rolled, have a width of 600mm or more, and a thickness of less than 3mm. 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. The demand for these products is driven by the need for durable, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing materials in various industries.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721924 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced by combining iron, chromium, and other alloying elements in a furnace. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently reheated and rolled into thin sheets or strips using a series of rolling mills. The hot-rolling process helps to achieve the desired thickness and surface finish, while the lack of coiling ensures the final product maintains its flat shape.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 721924 products include stainless steel scrap or ingots, alloying elements such as chromium and nickel, and specialized rolling equipment. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the furnaces and rolling mills. The availability and cost of these raw materials and resources can significantly impact the overall production and pricing of these stainless steel flat-rolled products.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721924 is stainless steel flat-rolled products, which are used in a wide range of industries. These materials are often consumed by manufacturers of 732690 Other articles of iron or steel, 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, and 730820 Structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, among others. The unique properties of stainless steel, such as corrosion resistance and durability, make these products highly sought after in various applications, including industrial equipment, architectural elements, and consumer goods.
