About steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 3mm or more but less than 4.75mm

HS code 721932 covers the classification of stainless steel, flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more, that have been cold-rolled to a thickness between 3mm and 4.75mm. This type of stainless steel is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, automotive, and consumer goods manufacturing, due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. As a key component in many supply chains, the production and trade of these stainless steel products play a significant role in the global economy.

Production process

The production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721932 typically involves a multi-step process. First, stainless steel is produced by melting and refining a mixture of iron, chromium, and other alloying elements. The molten steel is then cast into slabs or billets, which are subsequently rolled into thin sheets or coils through a series of hot and cold rolling processes. The final cold-rolling step reduces the thickness of the steel to the desired range of 3mm to 4.75mm, while also imparting specific surface finishes and mechanical properties.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of stainless steel flat-rolled products under HS code 721932 include raw materials such as iron ore, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery, such as electric arc furnaces, continuous casting equipment, and rolling mills. Energy sources, such as electricity and natural gas, are also essential inputs for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721932 is stainless steel flat-rolled products with a width of 600mm or more and a thickness between 3mm and 4.75mm. These products are often used as inputs for the manufacture of a wide range of goods, including 721933 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness less than 3mm, 721934 Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, cold-rolled, of a thickness of 4.75mm or more, and 721935 (Steel, stainless; flat-rolled, width 600mm or more, not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced)). The stainless steel flat-rolled products under this code are essential components in the construction, automotive, and consumer goods industries.
